Contra-rotating propellers suit vessels that need higher speed, have a shallow draught or a limited propeller diameter. Typical applications are ro-ro and passenger ferries, new battery-electric vessels and unmanned vessels.

This azimuth thruster provides 360° thrust and can turn the hull in restricted water. As main propulsion it improves manoeuvrability while maintaining speed.
