Voith VSP (Voith Schneider) 7000kW is listed as a Stern Thrusters / Bow/Stern Thruster within the Bow category. It is typically installed in a transverse tunnel or retractable/azimuthing installation near the bow or stern, with drive machinery inside the hull. Its engineering role is to generate lateral or vectored thrust for maneuvering, station keeping or low-speed handling. The source entry additionally records power 7000.0 kW. The complete model designation should be retained when matching drawings, certificates, service information and spare parts because neighboring variants may differ in configuration even when they share the same equipment family. The exact shipboard arrangement and interfaces remain installation-specific and should be checked against the vessel’s approved drawings and equipment documentation. Where an operating value, tolerance, wear limit or setting is not explicitly stated in the source data, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
