The most powerful podded thrusters in use are the four 21.5 MW Rolls-Royce Mermaid units fitted to RMS Queen Mary 2. [1] Mechanical azimuth thrusters can be fixed installed, retractable or underwater-mountable. They may have fixed pitch propellers or controllable pitch propellers. Fixed installed thrusters are used for tugboats, ferries and ...
In the conventional azimuth thrusters such as Z-drive and L-drive thrusters, the propeller is driven by an electric motor or a diesel engine inside the ship's hull. The propeller is coupled to the prime mover with shafts and bevel gears that allow rotating the propeller about a vertical axis. This type of propulsion system has a long tradition ...
The propulsors are Rolls-Royce Mermaid azimuth thruster type podded propulsion units, [47] [48] each with one forward-facing low-vibration propeller with separately bolted blades. The forward pair of thrusters is fixed, but the aft pair can swivel through 360°, removing the need for a rudder. [16]
Propulsion thrusters are those thrusters which provide longitudinal motion for vessels as an alternative to traditional propellers. There are a variety of types of propulsion thrusters but the most common form is the azimuth thruster, that can rotate 360 degrees on a vertical axis to optionally produce thrust for maneuvering. (Lindborg, 1997).
Dynamic positioning (DP) is a computer-controlled system to automatically maintain a vessel's position and heading by using its own propellers and thrusters. Position reference sensors, combined with wind sensors, motion sensors and gyrocompasses , provide information to the computer pertaining to the vessel's position and the magnitude and ...

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has made changes to its rating system for Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” after the new release became the latest target for “review ...
Steerprop's main products are Z-drive and L-drive azimuth thrusters used for main propulsion of tugboats, icebreakers, offshore vessels and passenger ships. [3] In addition to pushing and pulling type thrusters, the company also offers a line of contra-rotating (CRP) propulsion units with two propellers rotating in opposite directions.
