Retractable Azimuth Thruster · Bow/Stern Thrusters
Marine engineers and operators rely on reliable propulsion systems like the Kongsberg/Rolls-Royce FU-2000 stern thruster to ensure efficient maneuvering and stability of their vessels. This retractable thruster delivers a powerful 2000 kW of power, generating a thrust of 240 kN, with a propeller diameter of 2100 mm. Designed for stern mounting, it is part of a series of robust propulsion solutions that cater to various maritime needs, including retractable and azimuth thrusters. The thruster's specifications include dual gear hydraulic steering and lube systems, double cylinders with pressure pipe safety, and a sealing tank with refueling capacity. Routine inspections should focus on propeller blades for wear, cracks, and deformation; propeller shaft seal integrity; bearing clearance and wear; hydraulic fluid condition; hydraulic line integrity; and elastomer parts like O-rings for signs of hardening, cracks, or swelling. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of the thruster.
