Responding to trends in the cruise industry, Molde, Norway-based propulsion system specialist Brunvoll has expanded its product range of tunnel thrusters by adding its largest thruster to date, its new FU135C series. The first delivery of this new size is for three cruise vessels, being built at an undisclosed shipyard for an undisclosed shipowner.
Each ship will feature four of the new large tunnel thrusters. Each will have a power output of 4,000 kW each and have a controllable pitch propeller with a diameter of 3.5 meters. The tunnel thrusters will be delivered with tunnel extensions cut to the hulls shape for easy installation and integration at the shipyard.
The new FU135-series offers a wide power range, with a power output up to 5.100 kW dependent on use. This new size of tunnel thruster has been developed based on trends in the cruise market and Brunvoll sees continuous growth in the shipbuilding market for these types of units in the years
