Electric Azimuth Propulsion

Azimuth Propulsion

The ideal propulsion system for vessels requiring extensive manoeuvring and positioning during main working conditions.

Brunvoll's range of azimuth propulsion units includes pull open and push ducted versions with FP/CP propellers.

We supply complete systems consisting of propulsion units, tunnel thrusters, controls, automation and drives.

‍

Azimuth Pull Open Propellers

A typical system for double ended ferries can be two Brunvoll Azimuth CPP pulling propulsion thrusters in a battery-electric system with a diesel genset for charging of batteries for redundancy purpose.

The Azimuth thruster can be connected to a permanent magnet motor powered by the battery pack, which is normally charged by shore connection.

All system configurations are designed and optimised for the actual vessels. Safety and redundancy is at the highest level to ensure operational uptime regardless of area of operation.

Typical ship types are coastal ferries, offshore support vessels, and other vessels operating in a combination of transit and port mooring.

Azimuth Push Ducted Propellers

An efficient heavy duty propulsion system ideal for vessels with need for efficient bollard pull in towing or pushing operations.

Typical ship types are cable laying vessels, SOVs, tugs and other vessels with requirements to a combination of transit and DP operations.
