Marine Deck Mounted Contra-rotating Propeller Azimuth Thruster

The marine deck mounted contra-rotating propeller azimuth thruster is designed to combines maximum manoeuvrability and bollard pull with outstanding course stability during free sailing, providing powerful thrust in the chosen direction at all times. It can be operated by electric motor, hydraulic or diesel engine. The azimuth thruster can be used as the main, auxiliary propulsion and dynamic positioning of the ship, is often used to tug, boats, ferries and barge, etc.

Feature:

Precise positioning in DP operation

Lower operating costs

Lower emissions

Reliability and stability

High durability

Overview

The marine deck mounted contra-rotating propeller azimuth thruster is positioned on the deck of a ship. This thruster system features contra-rotating propellers—two sets of propellers rotating in opposite directions. This configuration significantly improves thrust and reduces the torque that would otherwise affect the vessel's stability.

The rudder propeller features high efficiency, low noise, manipulation of the excellent and shaft winding proof characteristics. It is widely used to ferry, tugboats, engineering ship and other ships. It can be equipped with a nozzle to produce a larger rudder force, improve the ship's maneuverability.
