New thrust from Brunvoll

摘要

With a propeller diameter of 2m, the latest thruster unit from Norway's Brunvoll AS is available in power ranges of up to 1450kW, and is appropriate for all types of offshore vessels, from anchor handling tugs to platform support vessels. Knut Andresen, Brunvoll technical director and deputy managing director, said that the FU74LTC2000 - the notation for the new tunnel thruster configuration with L-drive and controllable pitch propeller - would complement its existing range. In terms of size and power range the unit slots in between Brunvoll's FU63 and the FU80 size thrusters. He said Brunvoll already had orders for 36 units of the new thruster type, while deliveries of the first units had already started.
