Dynamic Positioning of Ships | Portable Thrusters
Portable dynamic positioning system to convert a ship in a very short time for offshore support and shipbuilding activities. Portable thrusters can reach the keel of any vessel, regardless of deep draft or high freeboard.
The advantages of our technology
o Reduction of the costs of mobilization and demobilization
o Reduction of the operating time lost for the conversion
o It can be easily inspected and cleaned of dirt from the propeller by lifting it out of the water
o Lower maintenance costs for deck stowage inside a closed container when not in use
o Reduce the cost of capital with less propulsion equipment that can be quickly replaced between barges
o Power can be varied according to project requirements (barge power source or mobile sources such as diesel, electricity and fuel cells to reduce emissions)
Detachable thruster configurations available
o Optional size: 60kw, 150kw, 300kw, 450kw, 600kw
o Optional configurations: non-azimuth thrusters for transverse thrust only, 360-degree azimuth thrusters that extend under the keel, 360-degree deflector that does not extend under the keel for shallow water operations
o Mobile power source: type and size according to the specific needs of the project
