Kongsberg Azipull Carbon Thruster

carrying parts, resulting in a substantial reduction of the propulsion system's weight. A hydrodynamically optimised underwater unit with a wide chord provides rudder effect and improves the vessel ́s course stability, aided by a skeg extending below the gear housing. It also recovers swirl energy from the propeller as increased useful thrust. The thrusters also facilitate a better vessel lay out while maintaining high propulsion efficiency, excellent manoeuvring capabilities and easy maintenance.
