Support in selection and sizing of propulsor configurations in order to fulfil a certain stationkeeping/low speedmanoeuvringcriterion.
Examples are requests where conventional shaft lines are compared to azimuthing thrusters, howmany tunnel thrusters and how much power is required for a certain station keeping/low speedcapability in given environmental conditions. This can beanalysedby combining wind, current andwave forces with thrust and power data of KONGSBERG propellers, rudders and thrusters. Thrustlosses and interaction effects can also be considered.
