Azipod is a trademarked azimuth thruster pod design, a marine propulsion unit consisting of a fixed pitch propeller mounted on a steerable gondola ("pod") containing the electric motor driving the propeller, …

Azipod® propulsion is a gearless steerable propulsion system where the electric drive motor is housed within a pod outside the ship hull.

Azipod is the electrically driven propulsor with an AC motor incorporated in a streamlined azimuthing pod unit directly driving a fixed-pitch propeller. The motor is controlled by a frequency converter, …

Azipod® is a gearless 360° steerable propulsion system, where the electric motor is located in a submerged pod outside the ship hull. By utilizing the Azipod® system’s maneuverability, marine …

Azipods are a type of electric propulsion system housed in a pod-like structure mounted beneath a ship’s hull, capable of rotating 360 degrees to direct thrust without the need for rudders or traditional …

To evaluate the suitability of Azipod for the ship or rig project, the following basic questions are usually evaluated as a first step by the ship owner or the shipyard:

With its unique combination of precision and power, Azipod® propulsion proved perfectly suited to highly demanding marine operations in the offshore oil and gas segment.

Using Azipod® propulsion, a huge cruise vessel can be maneuvered with incredible precision and accuracy. Even the largest of ships can dock in harbors where turning circles are restricted.

Azipod propulsion is designed for the preferential use of the (directly driven) pulling propeller when driving in the Ahead direction. The Azipod VI and ICE family of products are azimuthing (steering …

It was a revelation for the marine industry when it was first introduced – now, Azipod® propulsion is marking 30 years of innovation, helping ships of all kinds to be more maneuverable, more reliable, …
