Brunvoll and Steerprop intensify cooperation

As well as delivery of mechanical equipment, the partnership includes cooperation on control and automation systems as well as after-sales services.

The ‘package’ solutions will be based on Brunvoll’s core products – i.e. tunnel and retractable azimuth thrusters, both for maneuvering and dynamic positioning, as well as main azimuth propulsors based on controllable pitch propellers – and Steerprop main azimuth propulsors with fixed pitch propellers.

The companies believe that their combined expertise and reputations will provide thruster-based propulsion systems up o 20MW for most vessel types, including the offshore industry and ice-class ships, with design, manufacturing and service to match.
