WST-18E embedded electric steerable thruster - Wärtsilä

WST-18E - key features A small footprint. The permanent magnet or asynchronous E-motor embedded in the thruster minimises the height of the WST-18E. That is why it can also be installed in a height restricted space, such as below the working deck of a vessel. Eco-efficiency. VGP2013 compliant or optional zero pollution sealing systems make this thruster environmentally friendly. The optional tilted propeller gearbox reduces the thrust loss caused by interactions with the vessel hull and other thrusters. There is an option for fast electric steering and optimised gears for fast power ramp-up. Thanks to these, its DP and station keeping capabilities meet the highest standards .
