Kawasaki Side Thrusters

Kawasaki Heavy

Industries offers the KT-B series of side thrusters, developed accord- ing to modern engineering concepts and extensive marine experience, says the company.

The series features small size and a high degree of noise and vibration reduction, and provides easier ship maneuverabili- ty when used in combination with

Kawasaki's controllable pitch propeller.

The company also manufactures the

KST series of steerable thrusters for var- ious working vessels, offshore oil drilling rigs and other applications.

With a 23 percent reduction in tunnel length compared to former models, the

KT-B thruster can be installed closer to the vessel's fore or aft end, enlarging the distance between the thruster and the vessel's gravity center, thus increasing the vessel's turning moment. For ease of maintenance, each propeller blade is easily replaced inside the tunnel. When replacement is done afloat, the thruster tunnel is kept above sea level by a hull ballast adjustment.

Schottel's Rudderpropeller

The Schottel Rudderpropeller (SRP) is a combined propulsion and steering sys- tem that not only converts the engine or motor power into optimum thrust, but also — due to 360 degree rotation of the underwater assem- bly — enables the full propulsive power to be used for maneuvering the vessel as well.

The SRP is designed for maximum maneuverability, optimum efficiency, safe and economical operation, space-
