Brand: Kongsberg Maritime

Retractable azimuth thruster · ULE PM, ULE, UL; TCNS/TCNC swing-up; underwater-mountable

Retractable (ULE PM, ULE, UL), swing-up and underwater-mountable azimuth thrusters for DP and transit on offshore vessels.

Kongsberg offers retractable azimuth thrusters from the compact ULE PM with permanent-magnet motor to large L-drive ULE and UL units. These can be lowered for dynamic positioning or take-home propulsion and retracted into the hull. Swing-up (TCNS/TCNC) and underwater-mountable azimuth thrusters complete the range for offshore and special vessels.
