Berg Azimuth Thruster

360° azimuth thrusters in Z-drive and L-drive versions with integrated nozzle, hybrid upper gear option for electric booster motor, and integrated control and condition monitoring; for tugs, ferries and offshore vessels.

Description

The Berg Propulsion Azimuth Thruster provides full 360° rotatable thrust, eliminating the need for a rudder and allowing vessels to move sideways, rotate on the spot and hold position in DP mode. An optimised integrated nozzle gives high bollard pull together with good free-running efficiency.

Configurations

  • Z-drive – horizontal input shaft, for diesel engines or electric motors; vertically compact
  • L-drive – vertical input shaft, for electric motors; horizontally compact
  • Upper gear design allowing hybrid installations with a combustion engine complemented by an electric booster motor

Key features

  • High thrust and bollard pull at low speeds
  • Optimised fins and propellers to reduce noise, vibration and cavitation
  • All key components within the hull flange, allowing installation from below without disassembly
  • Integrated control, diagnostics and condition monitoring with onboard automation interface
  • Long service intervals and easy maintenance access

Applications

  • Tugboats
  • Ferries
  • Offshore support vessels in DP operation
