Request information

Tunnel Thruster type TTH

The TTH Tunnel Thruster represents the next generation of our proven tunnel thruster technology. 

Skip to content

Backed by over 60 years of hydrodynamic expertise, the Harmonised (H) range is designed to deliver compact, flexible, and installation-friendly propulsion performance for vessels operating in complex environments — from offshore platforms to naval operations.

Available in two propeller diameters — 1650mm and 1850mm — with power up to 1250kW, the TTH is optimised for Dynamic Positioning (DP) and Auxiliary (Aux) propulsion applications.

Key features

  • Compact thruster design: Shorter build length enables forward/aft hull placement, improving DP performance and vessel design flexibility.
  • Modular design: One core unit fits multiple propeller sizes, simplifying spares and enabling easier upgrades.
  • Enhanced design: Increased clearance between propeller blade tip and tunnel plating, simplifying thruster installation within the tunnel, minimising paint erosion and lowering noise and vibration levels.
  • Backward compatible: interchangeable with existing Kongsberg type TT units
  • EHM-ready: Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM)-compatible.
  • Propeller options: Controllable Pitch (CP) or Fixed Pitch (FP)
  • Ice-class certified: Built for Baltic operations, approved for Polar Class 6 and 7.

Customisation options

  • Custom Tunnel: Tunnel length and additional reinforcement ribs and rings can be adjusted according to customer requirements.
  • Super Silent (SS) Tunnel: Double-walled, flexible mounted design provides noise reduction up to 15 dB compared to standard designs. Ideal for cruise, research and sensitive offshore environments.
  • Trunk-Mounted (TM) Configuration: Enables full maintenance access without dry-docking, reducing operational downtime. Suitable for vessels requiring maximum service flexibility.
