Combined diesel and diesel ( CODAD ) is a propulsion system for ships using two diesel engines to power a single propeller shaft .

15-422: Is one diesel engine for cruising speed and one geared gas turbine for high speed dashes. Both are connected to the shaft with clutches ; only one system is driving the ship, in contrast to combined diesel and gas (CODAG) systems that can use the combined power output of both. The advantage of CODOG is a simpler gearing compared to CODAG, but it needs either more powerful or additional gas turbines to achieve
20-419: The engines or both of them together to drive the shaft. Two advantages over simply using a single, larger diesel engine of the same total power output are that (1) diesel engines have somewhat better specific fuel consumption at 75% to 85% max output than they do at only 50% output, and (2) there is a weight and size advantage to using two higher-speed engines compared to a single lower-speed engine, even with
