Propulsion and manoeuvring systems
A mixture of power, versatility, stability and toughness are essential for the workhorses of the maritime industry – tugs and workboats.
Manoeuvrability and reliability are key attributes of such vessels, whether operating in open water or in the confines of a harbour. Both are readily satisfied by Rolls-Royce, which makes the broadest range of propulsion/manoeuvring systems in the world today.
Our strong pedigree in naval architecture and marine engineering, augmented by world-class research in key supporting technologies such as hydrodynamics, ensures we remain at the cutting edge of products and integrated systems for powerful propulsion and precision manoeuvring.
Our full range of equipment designed to meets the hard-working tasks undertaken by tugs and workboats comprises:
By working very closely with our customers throughout each project, to understand their detailed design, operational and support priorities, we can supply anything from single products to a fully integrated solution that is specifically tailored to an individual ship or class of vessel.
