R There are three different mounting configurations within the range of the ZF thrusters used for main propulsion. Well mounted from top Well mounted top removal Mentioned data for indication purposes only. Recommended for ships operating in areas with limited dry-docking facilities.

Thruster Mounting Configurations Remote Control System Well mounted from BOTTOM Well mounted bottom removal When top mounting isn’t possible due to design restrictions in the vessel’s construction that make access via a deck hatch above the thruster impossible, the thruster can be installed from below with a bottom mounting flange arrangement. The main advantage of this design is that the thruster can still be withdrawn from the ship if required. Dry-docking of the vessel is usually required, unless its possible to trim the vessel sufficiently forward to allow the thruster to be removed...

Remote Control System Wheelhouse Remote Control Remote Control Thruster room Remote Control Panel and Thruster Control Unit Remote Control Panel and Thruster Control Unit for transverse tunnel thruster Feedback signals Signals to drive for speed steerring and clutch control Standard control system consists of a Thruster Control Unit (TCU), which is to be placed in the immediate vicinity of the thruster, and one remote control panel on the bridge. Optionally a number of additional remote control panels can be connected. The local control facility is mounted on the door of the TCU. The TCU...
