Paper presents short operat ional a nd engineering analysis of underpowered propulsion in small electrically propelled small inland passenger ships. There is evidence that in certain weather conditions the phenomena of added aerodynamic resistance of small water crafts may have seriou s influence on their speed and manoeuvrability. Existing regulations like class societies rules for ship classification and construction or EU Directive 2006/87/EC do not provide any requirements or guidelines on prediction of air or hydrodynamic resistan ce or propulsion power computations to be assessed by third party in design process. In the opinion of authors , the case is particularly important when electrical or hybrid propulsion is considered as prime mover. Existing knowledge allows for engineering analysis to be conducted to provide better knowledge on the selection and construction of innovative propulsion machinery for ships wher e passengers safety is major factor of concern by wate rways administration, class societies and insurance institutions .
