Electric nacelle drive for a ship

The invention relates to an electric nacelle drive for a ship, wherein the electric nacelle drive has an electric motor, which has a stator (1), and a housing part (2), which extends in the axial direction at least partially along the stator (1) and which in Circumferentially comprises the stator (1) at least partially. In order to provide an electric nacelle drive with improved cooling, it is proposed that substantially cooling channels (3) extending in the axial direction are provided, in each of which at least one cooling medium can flow and by means of which the electric motor can be cooled, the cooling channels (3) at least radially inward in each case by a layer (4) of a material to be limited, which has a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W / (m · K) and which is corrosion resistant, at least in a seawater-containing atmosphere.
