Azimuth Thruster · Shaft Line & Propulsion
Designed for harsh ice conditions, the ICEPOD2500 thruster from Wärtsilä operates with an azimuthing and pulling mechanism to navigate through both forward and astern ice. Engineered to 1A Super Ice Class standards, it features a robust structure and propeller optimized for high ice loads, including scenarios where the vessel encounters large ice blocks or penetrates ice ridges. The thruster’s Z-drive configuration minimizes height, allowing for efficient use of hull volume or deck space while ensuring low draught requirements are met. A key design feature is its ability to be removed or replaced without a drydock, addressing operational challenges in remote areas. Additionally, the four-lip seal system prevents oil leakage and contamination, making it suitable for environmentally sensitive ice regions.
