This type of thruster is well suited for use in vessels requiring a quick conversion from operational to stored thrusters position.

This thruster unit is used in both swing-up and combi versions

Features and benefits

• Can be delivered as a containerised unit
• Available in CP or FP propeller options
• High thrust in relation to input power: thrust can be vectored in any direction
• Electric or diesel drive
• Remote control system
• 'Get you home' drive facility

The thruster swings up into the hull when not in use. It can quickly be swung down about a horizontal axis into the operating position. In operation it functions as an azimuth thruster and is designed to develop maximum bollard pull in the manoeuvring condition, or to provide positioning power for station keeping.

Typical applications
Tankers
Cargo vessels
Cruise ships and ferries
Arctic vessels
Drilling rigs
Naval vessels
