Retractable Azimuth Thruster

The retractable azimuth thruster is an in-hull system that can operate in full azimuth thruster mode when deployed. It is used as an auxiliary propulsion system to increase the vessel’ s station-keeping capabilities. A tunnel can be incorporated in the design of the outer well so that the thruster can be used as bow thruster as well.
Driven types
Diesel engine drive, electric motor drive, hydraulic motor drive.
Installation types
L-drive for vertical main drive motor installation (electric motor and hydraulic motor).
Z-drive installation(often used for diesel engine drives but also electric drives).
Main applicable ship types
Typical applications for cable laying vessel, research vessel, OSV, navy vessel, super yacht and so on.
