Rolls Royce Thruster Service

RM Propulsion your trusted servicing  partner for Rolls Royce thrusters

Independent servicing with expert care, and competitively priced spare parts

Servicing Rolls Royce thrusters demands precision, experience, and flexibility. RM Propulsion offers all three, along with the benefit of competitively priced spare parts. Because we operate independently, we deliver high-quality service without the restrictions or overhead of OEM contracts.

From urgent repairs to planned overhauls, we help keep your propulsion systems efficient and your operations moving.

Full Support for All Rolls Royce Thruster Types

Tunnel, transverse, and azimuth units professionally serviced

Our team provides technical service for all types of Rolls Royce marine thrusters. Whether you’re working with tunnel thrusters, transverse units, or azimuth systems, we bring the know-how to inspect, repair, and restore performance effectively.

For example, tunnel thrusters play a vital role in maneuvering ferries, tugs, and offshore vessels. Transverse units are common on cable layers, DP-class ships, and dredgers, where precise side thrust is essential. Meanwhile, azimuth thrusters support agile propulsion in harbors and confined environments.

Whatever your vessel, we provide the right technical service, plus compatible parts at a more cost-effective price point.

What’s Included in Our Service for Rolls Royce Thrusters

We handle the full range of mechanical and diagnostic tasks required for safe thruster operation. These include complete disassembly, internal inspection, and component replacements such as seals, liners, and bearings.

Additionally, we check gear contact patterns, perform backlash checks, align the shaftline, and identify the correct parts for your system. Before and after the work, we provide free technical guidance, so you stay informed and in control.

While our servicing is top-tier, our real pricing advantage comes with spare parts. Because we operate independently, we can supply OEM-quality parts at significantly more competitive rates, without compromising on performance.

Thruster spare parts for your Rolls Royce® propulsion system

Also we supply a range of compatible thruster spare parts for your Rolls Royce® marine propulsion system such as:

• The Rolls- Royce, Kamewa TT series (1650, 1850, 2000, 2200) is widely fitted to ferries, tugs, and offshore service vessels. These tunnel thrusters are crucial for lateral control during docking and station keeping.
• The Rolls Royce, Ulstein TV series (45 TV, 90 TV, 150 TV, 250 TV, 375 TV, as well as the T24 and TCNS 73-50, are transverse units typically used on larger vessels like DP-class ships, cable layers, and dredgers.
• The Aquamaster US 155 FP azimuth thruster provides efficient propulsion and high maneuverability. It’s often found on harbor support vessels and coastal workboats.

Without any reservation, you can count on us for spare parts, extensive technical experience, and to know your Rolls Royce® Marine propulsion thrusters systems inside out.

Five-Year Overhaul Services for Thruster Systems

Most classification societies require a five-year thruster overhaul. During this service, we dismantle the system, inspect internal components, and replace wear-prone parts such as seals and gaskets. We also assess rotational tolerances and clean all internal surfaces to help prevent future issues.

Scheduling this during a drydock ensures minimal disruption to your vessel operations.

Ten-Year Overhaul Services for Long-Term Reliability

After ten years or 40,000 operating hours, a more extensive overhaul is required. We replace key components such as bearings and liners, perform crack testing, and verify system tolerances.

This deeper maintenance phase ensures long-term propulsion health, keeps your systems class-compliant, and reduces the risk of costly breakdowns.
