For safe and easy mooring, support during fishing or dredging and operation under dynamic positioning, tunnel thrusters are a good technical and economical solution.
Electric or hydraulic driven
Tunnel thrusters positioned at the bow or stern of a vessel, can increase the maneuverability and support dynamic position operations. We can supply electric or hydraulic motor-driven tunnel thrusters from 45kW to 150kW in single propeller and counter rotating execution. CR tunnel thrusters can be chosen for vessels with limited draught or low noise requirements. Depending on the vessel hull material, the tunnel structures can be manufactured in steel, aluminum, or FRP.
Control by systems
A full plug and play system is incomplete without a main control panel and joystick. Our touchscreen control panels are built for durability and are easy to use. Several options are available, varying from simple budget solutions to integrated custom solutions. Interface for full integration with dynamic positioning systems is available. Features are user-friendly, joystick for stepless control, compact and high-quality panels.
