Cruise Ship Thrusters

Diesel engines diesel-electric engines.

Cruise ship thrusters. Marine propulsion is the way ships generate power to move through the water. With a pod system the equivalent of the propeller shaft and the drive motor are located within the pod not in the hull. 360 rotating Azimuth thrusters are used when enhanced maneuverability is required in applications such as dynamic positioning ship escort and ship docking services.

Portable Dynamic Positioning Quick dock-side conversion of any vessel to DP-0 thru DP-3 per any of the major classification societies. Carnival Liberty experienced an issue with the ships bow thrusters during the previous voyage May 2-7. Azipod propulsion is a gearless steerable propulsion system where the electric drive motor is housed within a pod outside the ship hull.

An 800 to 1000 HP Bow Thruster BT is effective enough to be fitted into a vessel having a LOA of 150-160 m and beam of 22-25 m with a GRT of about 10000-12000. Depending on the cruise ship there could be azipod propellers used or stern thrusters. For large ships like cruise ships the most common are.

The thrusters are located close to the centreline in tunnels running from portside to starboard operating in both directions. Depending on the overall propulsion configuration cruise vessels can have between two and six transverse thrusters which are installed in the bow or in both the bow and stern of the ship. 88 kN - 540 kN.

A drydocking results in cancelled cruises until repairs are complete. The Azipod azimuth thrusters and pod propulsion systems has a total power output of 61MW. Ad The future of cruising - Modern Spacious ships.
