One of the key enabling technologies involved with modern Arctic-going vessels is the azimuth thruster. Azimuth thrusters are favored by the cruise industry because they can be tilted at different angles, which reduces propeller-induced vibrations and shock loads on a ship’s hull, allowing passengers to enjoy a quieter voyage. But in the Arctic, azimuth thrusters have… -
The industry’s experience thus far drilling offshore the Arctic is a powerful argument to build a new generation of vessels and drilling rigs purpose built for operations in heavy ice.
