Azipods are increasingly being used particularly to large cruise vessels yet there is presently no established design method for scour protection subject to their action. These vessels can create high flow velocity to berths which can make rock protection impractical. Design methods for insitu concrete mattress or rock protection will be reviewed for single and multiple azipods which are based upon scale model testing recently presented in Hawkswood et al (2023). This is part of a programme of scale model testing and guidance for single propellers, twin propellers and azipods.
