Retractable Azimuth Thruster – compact design, minimal footprint.

Brunvoll’s Retractable Azimuth Thrusters provide manoeuvring capabilities that extend the operational weather window of the vessel, increasing capacity, flexibility, productivity and safety. Options for afloat service possibilities. Available in a range from 500 kW to 3.500 kW. Direct power transmission using a vertical top-mounted electric motor eliminates the need for special shaft and quick-release coupling arrangements when the thruster is lowered into and retracted from the working position. This solution also eliminates the need for gearboxes to connect the prime mover to the thruster – resulting in better total efficiency. Subsea Unit designed for heavy duty operations and low life cycle cost. For optimal performance Brunvoll takes responsibility for delivering complete systems and for providing support throughout the lifetime; from design, production, installation and commissioning, through daily operation.
