Transverse thrusters are commonly used on ships to provide a side force for mooring operations and station keeping. These thrusters, such as the Wärtsilä WTT-45, are designed to deliver high thrust with compact dimensions, making them suitable for a variety of vessel types, including merchant vessels, cruise ships, and offshore support vessels. The WTT-45 offers a maximum power output of 4800 kW and a propeller diameter of 4050 mm, providing superior hydrodynamic performance. This model supports both manoeuvring (AUX) and dynamic positioning (DP) applications and can be configured with either controllable or fixed pitch propellers. Key benefits include a robust and reliable design, easy installation, and a maintenance-friendly interface. The WTT-45 also features Wärtsilä ProTouch controls with ergonomic levers and intuitive touch screen displays, ensuring efficient operation. Additionally, the thruster complies with environmental regulations through compatibility with environmentally acceptable lubricants (EAL) and ensures a smaller footprint with integrated hydraulics and fine filtration.
