Wärtsilä Retractable Thrusters WST-R

Why choose Wärtsilä Choose retractable thrusters from Wärtsilä, and you will enjoy important benefits. For example: Because of the eight-degree tilted propeller shaft, these retractable thrusters are the most efficient in the market. Their performance in station keeping is excellent, and they can deliver up to 20% more effective thrust than conventional non-tilted thrusters. Wärtsilä has the expertise to use hydrodynamics and computational fluid dynamics CFD to identify the ideal configuration and power requirements of the thruster system for your vessel’s unique operating profile. Because of this detailed insight, the power requirement can be calculated, not only estimated. This can reduce the cost of the total power train configuration, saving you money. Put your trust on the industry’s widest range of retractable thrusters, from 750 kW to 6.5 MW, plus the technology and the hydrodynamic expertise to help design and deliver optimal thruster solutions.
