Azimuth Thruster with Tube

Azimuth thruster with a streamlined tube (duct) around the propeller and 360° rotation; manufacturer cites 10–15% fuel saving vs open thrusters and reduced cavitation.

Description

The Azimuth Thruster with Tube from Misea Marine is a 360° azimuthing propulsion and steering unit with a streamlined tube (duct) around the propeller. It replaces the conventional rudder, directing thrust by rotating the whole unit.

Key features

  • Tube with flared inlet and optimised outlet that guides flow through the propeller and concentrates thrust
  • Protects propeller blades from floating debris; adds structural rigidity and reduces vibration
  • Stabilised pressure field suppresses cavitation, lowering noise and blade erosion
  • Reduced disturbance of bottom sediment in shallow water
  • Fully sealed integrated structure; modular design with standard interfaces for installation and removal

Performance

  • Manufacturer states 10% to 15% fuel saving compared with open thrusters of the same specification

Applications

Tugboats, offshore engineering vessels, cruise ships, port transport ships and shallow-water vessels; frequent berthing and dynamic positioning work.
