Wärtsilä retractable thrusters have been selected for vessels worldwide, operating in the most demanding environments. Each system from Wärtsilä conforms to the highest performance and reliability standards and are also supported by a worldwide network of service and support workshops. By the 8° tilted propeller gearbox the delivered thrust is more effective, contributing to decarbonisation of station keeping operation. When selecting a dynamic positioning (DP) system Wärtsilä Retractable Thrusters are second to none. With a power ranging between 750 and 6500kW in both L-drive and Z-drive options, there is a solution to suit any operating profile and vessel - including wind turbine installation vessels, offshore support vessels, offshore construction vessels, shuttle tankers and heavy lift vessels. The vertical retraction system minimizes the area footprint in the vessel and enables full retraction that reduces the vessel’s resistance and allows access to shallower waters and ports. The thrusters are controlled by the DP system or from the bridge stations by Wärtsilä ergonomic controls with intuitive touch screen displays providing intuitive management of the entire DP system.
