For vessels working in tough conditions, such as offshore supply vessels in arctic seas, current propulsion alternatives have their drawbacks. Azimuth thrusters face reliability and downtime issues whereas the more reliable single-screw propulsion takes up space in the hull and is difficult to retrofit. Now, primarily for diesel-electric new builds and retrofits, there is a fresh opportunity: Twin Fin propulsion.
TWIN FIN ADVANTAGES:
Increased thrust and efficiency
Reduced maintenance and easy access for service
No need to dry dock in case of repairs
Increased reliability and flexibility
Reduced fuel consumption and green concept
Increased cargo space and deadweight
Well-proven for safety in the arctic
Easy to retrofit with very short yard stay
