HVG MARINE PROPULSION EQUIPMENT 0062: Deck Combination Azimuth Thruster

Deck combination azimuth thruster is a kind of marine propulsion unit which combined azimuth thruster and diesel engine. It has the advantages of compact structure, high mobility, easy-installation and others. The whole set can be installed directly on the deck base. The set is hooded in the container. The vertical height is adjusted by mechanic equipments or hydraulic equipments, making ships adapt to deeper draft and give full thrust. Therefore, the ships can better satisfy the propellers immersion depth need when full load or no load. The combination design with contra-rotating propellers can further shorten the diameter of propellers and save ballast water treatment cost and ballast water adjustment time.
