Rudder propellers

For precise ship maneuvers in every direction!

ADS van STIGT offers Azimuth thrusters from ZF Marine, also known as rudder propellers. These allow ships to maneuver in any direction—even sideways. They are ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as harbors. These systems provide both propulsion and steering power without a traditional rudder. Perfect for vessels that require high maneuverability, such as offshore platforms and ferries.
