Side force generation is essential for maneuvers like mooring and station keeping in various maritime operations. Wärtsilä transverse thrusters, also known as tunnel thrusters, bow thrusters, or stern thrusters, deliver this crucial side force. These thrusters are available in a range from 400 kW to 5500 kW, making them suitable for a variety of vessel types, including merchant vessels, cruise vessels, offshore support vessels, and offshore construction vessels. Wärtsilä WTTs are known for their compact dimensions and high thrust output. The WTT range boasts a robust, reliable, and maintenance-friendly design, coupled with easy installation and high integration levels. The ProTouch control system, featuring ergonomic levers and intuitive touch screen displays or push-button panels, enhances user experience. Wärtsilä emphasizes global support, ensuring service and delivery are readily available when and where needed. Wärtsilä transverse thrusters offer options for controllable or fixed pitch propellers, suitable for both maneuvering (AUX) and dynamic positioning (DP) applications. Compatibility with environmentally acceptable lubricants (EAL) ensures compliance with environmental regulations. The range includes various models like WTT-11, WTT-14, WTT-16, WTT-21, WTT-24, WTT-28, WTT-32, WTT-36, WTT-40, WTT-45, and CT3500, each with specific power outputs, dimensions, and weights.
