THRUSTER SUPPORT POOL

At Kongsberg Maritime we understand that our customers require a quick, efficient turnaround when thrusters need to be overhauled. In response to our customers’ needs, we have launched the Thruster Support Pool (TSP). Our thruster support pool provides replacement units, enabling the exchange of a complete shipset of azimuth and tunnel thrusters, or just a single thruster as part of a planned maintenance solution.
