Propulsion Report Pods for a rising market The design and operating benefits con- ferred by podded electric drives are finding increasing favor throughout the industry, as manifested in the growing application list involving cruise ships. icebreakers, offshore vessels, specialized tankers, and, most recently, RoRo passenger ferry and ice-going crude oil carrier new- buildings. So as to better maintain the business momentum and broaden the market reach for the technology, Finnish electrical engineering innovator ABB PODS Industry is promoting a new Azipod- derived design bred specifically for smaller vessel types. While the main Azipod series has been engineered for unit powers up to 25- MW, the recently unveiled Compact Azipod has been conceived for applica- tions in the range from 400 kW to five No1 in World wide trading in x second-hand and new maritime/ offshore equipment See us at , SMM Stand no. 2067 Lifeboats—totally enclosed / partially enclosed /open Tenders Mob.-Boats Work Boats Rescue Boats Fast Rescue Boats Davits - ships and rig davits / single arm / liferaft davits Liferafts Immersion Suits Deck Cranes Rig Cranes Helicopter Decks Winches -diesel / hydr. / electric / air Capstans Hydraulic Power Packs Anchors • Chains Reverse Osmosis Plants Sewage Treatment Plants Generator Sets Air compressors Azimuthing and tunnelthrusters Accommodation Modules Firefighting systems Drilling equipment Various Maritime / Offshore Equipment Norwegian Maritime Equipment AS sells, buys and negotiates second- hand, reconditioned and new equipment.

HRP is the worldwide supplier of 360° steerable thruster systems and tunnel thrusters up to 2000 kW. The Azimuth Thruster Systems are available in well mounted, retractable and deck mounted versions and suitable for each drive mode. All HRP Thruster Systems have one thing in common: they are strong, reliable and meet all classification society standards. The systems are built according to the proven excellent Dutch craftmanship of HRP. THRUSTER SYSTEMS When Space, Weight or Cost is a Problem, Technology Takes Over! You can take a large amount of bridge control and monitoring functions and shrink them down to 8j'2 x 11 inch sheets of technology, solving the space problem associated with bridge design. It also lets you take advantage of an ABS, USCG approved data buss that eliminates the cable runs to the bridge while still controlling and monitoring all systems assigned. The process is as easy as faxing us an 8^2 x 11 inch sheet of control and monitoring items and we will provide a return fax of a panel design which does it all in a fraction of the space, weight, cable and labor associated with the traditional method. Two wires to the panel shown does it all. s HRP Thruster Systems BV • P.O. Box 2020 • 2930 AA Krimpen a/d Lek.
