They have azimuth thrusters - which only work when there is electrical power.

If the Titanic had been equipped with azimuth thrusters, things might have turned out differently.

It is powered by seven 3,500 kW azimuth thrusters and two propellers.

Modern ships with diesel-electric drive use azimuth thrusters.

The vessel is fitted with two Rolls Royce azimuth thrusters.

The option of Azimuth thruster, as used on the Mistral-class ships, is also being considered.

Mechanical azimuth thrusters can be fixed installed, retractable and underwater-mountable.

The ship has a diesel-electric powertrain using three Azipod azimuth thrusters.

These are used to drive two steerable azimuth thrusters, with a bow thruster supplementing.

Azimuth thrusters have also made it possible to develop icebreakers that operate sideways to open a wide channel though ice.

An azimuth thruster in shipbuilding is a propeller that can be rotated horizontally.

Specifically, it is an azimuth thruster.

They are operated by a crew of three, using two Azimuth thrusters generating 235 kW.

Ships with azimuth thrusters do not need tugboats to dock, though they still require tugs to maneuver in difficult places.

After her modernization in 1993 she became the first merchant ship to be equipped with an electric azimuth thruster, Azipod.

The space gained by the use of the azimuth thrusters allowed for the construction of accommodation areas where no pipes or machinery are visible.

Mistral and Tonnerre are the first ships of the French Navy to use azimuth thrusters.

Echo and Enterprise are the first Royal Navy ships to be fitted with azimuth thrusters.

One of the competing products of similar type is the Rolls-Royce Mermaid azimuth thruster.

Both azimuth thrusters and the bow thruster can be controlled through the integrated navigation system by a joystick providing high manoeuvrability.

The ship is equipped with two azimuth thrusters, a lateral pump-jet, and satellite navigation, enabling it to automatically maintain an exact position.

The company produces customized main propellers, azimuth thrusters, transverse thrusters and maneuver systems.

An L-drive is a type of azimuth thruster in which the pod-mounted propellers are driven mechanically rather than electrically.

Depending on the shaft arrangement the mechanical azimuth thruster are divided into L-drive and Z-drive.

This allows her to berth a considerable distance from a slipway, protecting her exposed Azimuth thrusters in shallow waters.
