Sinooutput Group LTD. was founded in March 2015 and is a well-known Chinese marine propulsion system integrator and thruster manufacturer. The group runs two brands, AzimuthThruster (China) and AzimuthThruster Europe (Netherlands), with production in Jiangsu, China and Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Facilities include a test tank and factory acceptance test equipment, machining equipment, assembly tooling and measuring equipment. The factory holds BV factory recognition, BKI type approval and CCS quality management certification, and products are certified by CCS, DNV GL, BV, ABS, IRS and BKI.
European design, Chinese manufacturing
The European brand AzimuthThruster Europe started in the Netherlands in 2007. To meet growing customer demand, AzimuthThruster (Jiangsu) was founded in 2017 to carry out R&D, engineering and manufacturing with China’s advanced manufacturing resources. The R&D centre is supported by two postdoctoral professor advisors and dozens of senior European and Chinese engineers.
We design and manufacture tunnel thrusters, azimuth thrusters, deck-mounted azimuth thrusters and retractable azimuth thrusters, together with advanced thruster control systems, and can integrate them with dynamic positioning systems. For the renewable market we deliver battery-powered and hybrid-electric propulsion, unmanned vessel control systems and, on request, pod thrusters.
Our goal: make AzimuthThruster a world-class brand that is customer focused, reliable and innovative.
