Overview
The deck-mounted azimuth thruster combines an azimuth thruster with a diesel engine, electric motor or other drive into one compact unit that is easy to install and highly manoeuvrable.
The whole unit mounts directly on a deck foundation, optionally inside a container-style housing, with optional lifting and tilting. Mechanical or hydraulic height adjustment lets the vessel cope with large draught changes and keep full thrust. A contra-rotating version further reduces propeller diameter for complex waters and improves vessel economy.

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).
