Marine Deck Mounted Azimuth Thruster

The marine deck mounted azimuth thruster, also called marine deck combined propulsion, is a kind of marine power propulsion which combined azimuth thruster and diesel engine. It has the advantages of compact structure, high mobility, convenient installation and so on. The whole set can be installed directly on the deck base, hooded in the container. The vertical height is adjusted by mechanic or hydraulic equipment. Thus, the ships can can accommodate large draft depths and give full propulsive force. It can driven by electric, hydraulic or diesel engine.

Feature:

High maneuverability

Good stability and reliability

Excellent propulsion effect

Reduced noise

Overview

The marine deck mounted azimuth thruster can provide thrust in any direction. This allows for excellent maneuverability, making it easier to navigate tight spaces, perform precise docking, and maintain a steady position. It is installed on the deck. This makes it easier to retrofit on existing vessels and simplifies maintenance, as it can be accessed without dry-docking the ship.

The deck mounted azimuth thruster is a complete marine propulsion unit with rudder propeller and diesel engine assembled in series. It includes diesel engine and rudder propeller, etc.,which has the advantages of reliable performance, compact mechanism and so on. The diesel engine transmits power to the rudder propeller through the elastic coupling, clutch and universal shaft. The hydraulic system, electric control box, daily fuel and other components are installed on the base. Since the deck mounted azimuth thruster is self-contained, all the components and systems in the equipment are connected, installed and adjusted before delivery.

The ships can better meet the needs of full load and no load propulsion immersion depth. The combination design with contra-rotating propellers can further shorten the diameter of propellers and save ballast water treatment system costs and ballast water adjustment time.
