Overview
Contra-rotating propellers suit vessels that need higher speed, have a shallow draught or a limited propeller diameter. Typical applications are ro-ro and passenger ferries, new battery-electric vessels and unmanned vessels.
This azimuth thruster provides 360° thrust and can turn the hull in restricted water. As main propulsion it improves manoeuvrability while maintaining speed.

FAQ
What power range do the thrusters cover?
Standard models range from 11 kW (TLTT25 fixed-pitch tunnel thruster) to 3,800 kW (TLAT5000WM well-mounted azimuth thruster). Project-specific propulsion systems are available up to 6,000 kW.
Which classification societies approve the products?
Products hold certificates from CCS, DNV, BV, ABS, IRS and BKI, and projects can be delivered under the approval of CCS, RMRS, ABS, BV, RINA, NK, DNV, LR and CRS. The factory holds BV factory recognition, BKI type approval and a CCS quality management certificate (GB/T 19001-2016 / ISO 9001:2015).
