Under-water mounting

Whole thruster (Propulsor + Steering Module) assembled

as a single unit in factory

Traditional solution uses large domes

Under-water mounting

Six small flanges instead of

large domesSteering Module pre-installed

and permanently connected to vessel systemsFast connections between

Propulsor and Steering ModuleOnly Propulsor changed UW –

less lifting capacity needed!Faster change-out and less

space needed onboard

Domeless UW mounting solution

Under-water mounting

Save space onboard

(no storing of large domes)Light flanges are faster

& safer to handleLow weight for

outboard propulsor part – less lifting/crane capacity needed

New patented bearing condition algorithm:Increase uptime

Azipod® – gearless thrusterESPD bearing condition monitoring

ABB have extensive knowledge of

large thruster bearingsPatented bearing health monitoring

algorithm: Early Shock Pulse Detection (ESPD)Indicates start of raceway surface

crack earlier than any other system currently available in the market for large bearingsOriginally developed for 14…22 MW

Azipod units, but benefits also Azipod D power range (up to 7.5 MW)Reduces risk of unplanned

maintenance!

More time to react and plan for the

best mitigating action for defectsBalancing operation power for the

defected thruster reduces the further development of a bearing defectImproves likelihood to continue

the operation till scheduled maintenance to the thruster can be performedBetter knowledge to make

decision of bearing maintenance interval
