Our range of underwater mountable thrusters are designed for easy underwater mounting and dismantling without dry-docking the application. Our underwater mountable thrusters provide reliable transit and DP operation. A robust, heavy-duty L-drive azimuth thruster specifically designed for extended and reliable dynamic positioning (DP) operation on offshore rigs and drillships. Our thrusters are delivered with power ratings from 3,000 kW up to 6,500 kW. Compact construction provides advantages for mounting at the shipyard and during maintenance. The range is capable of underwater mounting and demounting without the need for dry-docking, using a special lifting technique, and a unique sealing and locking device. The UUC PM (Permanent Magnet motor) type underwater mountable thruster is a highly efficient, simple, and compact solution for various offshore applications where space is limited. The integrated PM motor is mounted very low between the steering gear, which enables the low installation height. Thanks to the PM motor, the thruster gives great electrical efficiency over the complete operational profile. With a new type of lubrication and, as an alternative, environmentally friendly sealing solution, the UUC PM thruster type has become more environmentally conscious as well as more energy efficient. Over 1,000 units have been delivered to date, and the well-known UUC product family offers a complete range of thruster sizes. The compact construction is an advantage when mounting and demounting the thruster. The design is suitable for various applications. The UUC HT is a well known and trusted product. All the components are within our well proven range, and the HT product range is interchangeable with existing UUC series:The 405 is interchangeable with 355 HT
