Special designs Control system In addition to the traditional right-angle gearbox, OMEGA marine thrusters can also be supplied with a parallel gearbox for vertical mounting. This type of design is often required for tankers where additional space is needed for product heaters. The control system has been specially developed to satisfy all class requirements and meet the demands of modern ship owners. Being ofmodular design, the control system can easily be upgraded from a directsystem to a full Joystick system with a VDR or DP interface. Easy Installation

E R OF THE OMEGA THRUSTER

OMEGA bow thrusters are the beating heart of inland waterway vessels, tugs, container ships, supply vessels, boat ferries, coasters, dredgers, naval boat ships and sailboat yachts. With their unusually compact dimensions, these units are easy to install in even the smallest engine for boat room. Handling and installation costs are kept to a minimum as the thrusters are supplied as complete, ready-to-fit assemblies. OMEGA 360°Azimuth thruster OMEGA channel thrusters are capable of rotating through 360°and available as 2, 3 or 4 channel designs. These units are equipped with a 'Bollard Pull' system with a capacity of 24.9 lbf/kW. They are available with power ratings ranging from 100 to 1500 kW and can also be used as marine propulsion engines for continuous operation. The thrusters can be driven hydraulically, by a boat diesel engine or by an marine electric motor. OMEGA thrusters are state-of-the-art units constructed from top-quality materials. These advanced thrusters are equipped with an MnBr/CuNiAl propeller, a high-grade spiral bevel gear and a stainless anti-wear ring (optional) around the propeller to avoid erosion. A special filter in the suction inlet prevents foreign objects from damaging the unit.
