Rolls-Royce retractable thrusters are designed to
hydraulically retract into the hull when not in use,
reducing the vessel drag. Units can be installed with
either L or Z drive and are available with CP of FP
propellers.
Retractable thrusters provide fast hydraulic lifting
and lowering of the unit
Features and benefits
- Diesel or electric drive
- Fast hydraulic lifting and lowering

- Low noise and vibration levels
The mounting is a 'bolt in' top mounted type. A casing
plate is welded into the hull structure, the thrusters
is lowered into the well, aligned and the lower support
is welded to the side walls.
Standard drive shaft arrangement is a complete assembly
with a solid shaft including bearings, a remote controlled
clutch and a flexible coupling.
