Bow Side Thruster

There are four features as follows:
-Supurior Strength
Tough and rational structural design has accomplished supurior strength, Especially strong ande durable driving shaft and seal are adopted for longer operation.
-Less Noise and vibration
Employing thicker duct plate, developing new propeller design and so on have achieved less noise and vibration which follow comfortable living environment on board
-Easy Installation and Periodical Inspection
LSFT is especially reduced duct lip and has a struture that it is able to weld anywhere on outer surface of duct for installation, On the periodical inspection, it is almost not needed to change parts except seal.
-Various type of driving
Compact new control system can provide easy operation. Customer can choose various configuration of prime mover, electric motor, diesel engine or hydraulic motor.

LSFT Thrusters would be installed under following conditions:

-Height from the base line: 1-1.5D
-Depth from light loaded draft line: 1-1.5D
-Length of tunnel: 2D
-Height of gravity tank: 1.5-2meter above full loaded draft line.
-Roundness of hull openning for tunnel: 0.05D
