Ulstein controllable pitch Compass thrusters and fixed pitch Z-drive thruster systems have proved their unique flexibility since being introduced more than 30 years ago. Today our thrusters are in operation throughout the world in a wide range of applications.

The thruster units are suitable for all types of applications, such as tugs, offshore vessels, diving support vessels, fishing vessels and ferries. For these vessels a manoeuvring precision and speed of response are of utmost importance, which are easily achievable with fully azimuthing thrusters.

Power ranges from 100 - 7000 kW.
