Description

High maneuverability and station-keeping capability The Retractable Azimuth Thruster operates in full azimuth mode when deployed as part of an auxiliary propulsion system to increase the vessel’s station-keeping capabilities. A tunnel can be incorporated in the design of the outer well so that the thruster can be used as bow thruster as well. Typical applications for the propulsion system are OSV, research vessels, jack-up, stand-by and rescue vessels. The thruster is designed with a performance range 200-2000 kW. Advantages Highest reliability Ease of installation and maintenance Highest maneuverability Reduction in fuel consumption Improved station keeping of the vessel Function: Retracted: usable as tunnel thruster Deployed: operated in full azimuth mode Operation with biodegradable lubrication oil possible Available with Condition Monitoring System Function All ZF Azimuth Thrusters are developed and produced in-house and thus, can be customized according to the customer’s wishes. L- or Z-drive Control system ThrusterCommand is integral part of the propulsion system Well mounted from top in the vessel Well height can be chosen to best suit the vessel design Tunnel Thruster mode Optionally use as a transverse thruster when fully retracted in the hull Drive options Diesel engine, using upper gearbox and wet or dry operated clutch (Z-drive) Electric motor, both horizontal (Z-drive) and vertical (L-drive) Hydraulic motor (L-drive) Steering of the thruster Electric or hydraulic steering Cooling Sea water Fresh water
