Thruster Types Covered in Our Service for Schottel Thrusters

We provide full service across all major Schottel thruster types. To begin with, we work on the RudderPropeller (SRP) series, trusted for 360-degree maneuverability. Additionally, we support the EcoPeller (SRE), known for its efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

We also handle the TwinPropeller (STP), which delivers compact, high-power performance through counter-rotating blades. What’s more, our team services the ControllablePitch Propeller (SCP), ideal for flexible thrust in dynamic conditions. Finally, we support the Transverse Thruster (STT), a key system for docking and dynamic positioning operations.

These systems are common on ferries, offshore vessels, tugs, dredgers, and support ships. As a result, we tailor each service to meet specific vessel requirements and operating demands.

Five-Year Overhaul for Schottel Thrusters

The five-year overhaul focuses on restoring performance and spotting early-stage wear. During this process, we dismantle the thruster, clean internal components, and inspect key areas. After that, we replace wear items such as seals, gaskets, and O-rings.

Ten-Year Overhaul

The ten-year service is more comprehensive. It includes full bearing and liner replacement, non-destructive testing, and shaftline re-verification. We also inspect the system for deeper wear, internal stress, or early signs of fatigue.

With this overhaul, your Schottel thruster regains its full performance, keeping your vessel compliant and ready for the next operational cycle.
