  • azimuth thruster for ships : L-drive (electric motor, retractable) ZF Marine
A retractable thruster is used for auxiliary propulsion system or to increase the vessel's "station keeping" capabilities. Once deployed below the hull, the thruster operates in full azimuth mode and when retracted, the thruster is completely "parked" inside the hull.

A retractable thrusters is most commonly installed in the bow of a vessel where a tunnel can be incorporated into the design of the outer well to allow the thruster to be used as a conventional side thruster when fully retracted in shallow water.
