> Cruise / Casino Vessels
Dinner cruise and casino vessels have relatively little draft
but a lot of superstructure exposed to wind drag. They
dock frequently and often operate in rivers or shallow lakes.
This requires extreme maneuverability and high reliability for
passenger safety.
The quintessential stern and side wheelers frequently use
hydraulic motors to power the paddle wheels giving their guests
the impression that they have gone back to a time when passengers
and cargo were carried from coastal ports far inland to bustling
cities alive with the excitement of conquering a new frontier.
Many of these type vessels use azimuth thrusters or hydraulic
driven propulsion units for main propulsion and steering, often
enhanced by a hydraulic bow thruster powered by a Thrustmaster
HPU with hydrostatic transmission. Thrustmaster can provide a
complete and reliable propulsion and thruster system that minimizes
spare part stores and service since one call can dispatch a highly
trained technician ready to address all of your service needs.
Thrustmaster can also package a hydraulic systems to power
the paddle wheels while also supplying power to the main propulsion
without compromising system integrity.
