Tunnel Thruster
Tailored to match the vessel's operating profile. Our tunnel thrusters are designed to provide side force to the ship to enhance manoeuvring capability in port or additional station keeping power when dynamic positioning and tailored to match the vessel application.
The TTC has been built on the well-proven TT (Tunnel Thruster) design, but has been modularised and simplified for optimal auxiliary usage. The result is a robust, easy-to-install thruster allowing for low investment and lifecycle costs.
