Marine Diesel Engine Azimuth Thruster

Name: Marine Diesel Engine Azimuth Thruster
Brand: Misea Marine

Diesel-engine-driven azimuth thruster with transmission, 360° hydraulic or electric slewing pod and control system; for tugs, offshore vessels, patrol, SAR and inland workboats.

Description

The Marine Diesel Engine Azimuth Thruster from Misea Marine is an integrated propulsion and steering unit driven by a marine diesel engine, replacing a fixed propeller and rudder. Its independent diesel drive makes it suitable for vessels without a stable electrical power supply.

Marine-grade diesel engine as prime mover
Precision transmission system
Underwater propeller pod with 360° slewing via hydraulic or electric mechanism
Control module for thrust regulation and remote monitoring

Key features

Omnidirectional thrust without a rudder
Modular design for installation at bow, stern or side positions
Suitable for operation in high wind, rough seas and low temperatures

Applications

Harbor tugboats; offshore wind farm maintenance ships, platform supply ships and marine construction vessels; patrol, search-and-rescue and inland waterway workboats; ocean-going and remote-area vessels.
