CT200

A high-performance tunnel thruster, the Wärtsilä CT200 offers 200 kW of power and a tunnel diameter of 1100 mm. This model is part of the versatile Wärtsilä CT series, designed for demanding marine environments where reliability and efficiency are paramount. The thruster features a robust design with continuous 360-degree steering in the horizontal plane, ensuring precise maneuverability. Maintenance intervals are set at five-year inspections and ten-year overhauls or after 40,000 to 56,000 operating hours, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency. The CT200 is equipped with Wärtsilä’s Sternguard In-Water Serviceable Seal (IWSS), which allows for complete underwater maintenance without the need for dry docking or habitat setup, significantly reducing service costs and vessel downtime. Additionally, the thruster includes an integrated hydraulic system with fine filtration to extend bearing life and maintain optimal performance. Regular checks on propeller blades, blade root seals, shaft seals, bearings, and the hydraulic system are essential for preventing common failures such as erosion, corrosion, wear, and oil contamination. These maintenance practices ensure that the Wärtsilä CT200 operates at peak efficiency throughout its service life.
