Azipod® DZ is the newest thruster with a nozzle in the Azipod® portfolio. It is available with up to 7,5 MW power. Based on its gearless and simple construction and high thrust performance, Azipod® DZ provides a cost efficient and reliable underwater mountable solution for DP vessels and other ships that require high thrust. The high performance of the thruster is achieved by a unique hybrid cooling of the propulsion motor combining a direct cooling to the surrounding sea water and an active air cooling system.
