Description. Parts from a RollsRoyce Azimuth Thruster (UUCType 305). The total weight is approximately 5 MT. Rolls Royce is providing the thruster outfit; six azimuth units each accepting 4, 500 kW and either operating in the DP 3 dynamic positioning system or giving a transit speed of 11. The first of these drill ships, West Capella, is due to start operations in the first quarter of 2009. RollsRoyce LiftSystem Our thruster support pool provides replacement units, enabling the exchange of a complete shipset of azimuth and tunnel thrusters. 360 degree Azimuth thrusters are for main propulsion of displacement vessels. They are available from 75 to 10, 750 HP (55kW to 8. Jun 15, 2015The RollsRoyce Thruster Support Pool provides replacement units, enabling the exchange of a single or a complete shipset of azimuth and tunnel thrusters. Feb 10, 2017RollsRoyce has delivered its 1000th azimuth thruster to Damen in what marks a milestone achievement in a relationship that spans more than 30 years. RollsRoyces first commercial PM tunnel thruster is being operated by Norwegian offshore vessel operator Olympic Shipping. The tunnel thruster, now in use aboard the Olympic Octopus, a. 2012 RollsRoyce plc The information in this document is the property of RollsRoyce plc and may not be copied or communicated to a third party, or used for any Azimuth thrusters. 64 prOpuLSOrS RollsRoyce is a global leader in the supply of azimuth thrusters. In an azimuth thruster the propeller rotates 360 An azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle, making a rudder unnecessary. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system. Azimuth thruster removal from the vessel. RollsRoyce: Aquamaster US 55 FP; Examples of repaired azimuth thrusters in reference to vessels. RollsRoyce standard azimuth thruster range and provides fast hydraulic lifting and lowering of the unit, enabling it to retract into the hull when not in use, reducing the vessels drag. The UL models are designed for horizontal drive with automatic drive shaft disconnection system. ULE models are designed for vertical drive. Apr 29, 2015Azimuth thrusters running during dynamic positioning operations on board a PSV. The Global Azimuth Thrusters Market report is an indepth assessment, which includes enabling key trends, challenges, technologies, market drivers, standardization. For the past few years, RollsRoyce has also been testing a new PM azimuth thruster concept on the 31 meter research vessel RV Gunnerus. Tests of the two 500 kW thrusters (pictured above) have shown efficiency increases of between 7 to 13 percent at normal cruising speeds of the vessel.

Azimuth2 of The flow of water to a pulling propeller is only determined by the hull, and it is possible to obtain a more homogeneous inflow to the propeller in this type of thruster. Jan 23, 2017RollsRoyce unveiled the latest addition to its range of marine thrusters, with the launch of a new azimuth thruster powered by permanent (PM. Azimuth thrusters are available in Zdrive configuration with direct diesel engine drive or in Ldrive configuration for electric motor or hydraulic motor drive. Azipod is an electric podded azimuth thruster produced by ABB Group. Developed in Finland jointly by the shipbuilding company MasaYards and ABB, Azipod is a marine propulsion unit consisting of a fixed pitch propeller mounted on a steerable gondola (pod).
