Crew BoatsHome > Applications > Crew Boats Thrustmaster supplied more bow thrusters for crew boats than all other thruster manufacturers combined. Thrustmaster engineers understand the rough, pounding high-shock conditions that crew boat thrusters are exposed to. Most are aluminum tunnel thrusters, but recently many aluminum retractable azimuth thrusters have been installed in deep water crew / supply vessels of Seacor, Tidewater, Edison Chouest and many other operators, quite a few tied to a dynamic positioning system. "Is a Drop-Down Better Than a Tunnel Thruster?" by CEO Joe Bekker discusses why operators rely on retractable azimuth thrusters. |
