Contaz thrusters
The Contaz azimuth thruster range with contra-rotating
propellers provide high propulsive efficiency and reduced vibration.
Efficiency gains are 10 - 15 per cent over conventional azimuth
thrusters. The aft propeller regains some of the energy losses in the
stream as well as significant rotational losses, therefore there is a
lower installed power requirement that can release space on board
and lowers fuel consumption. Contaz units have a range of stem
lengths and are ideal for passenger/car ferries and vessels requiring
high propulsive efficiency, i.e. low fuel consumption.
Model variations:
• Each unit custom designed to
suit the vessel
• Select from a wide range of
stem lengths
• Reduction ratios optimised for
application

KONGSBERG – PROPULSORS 51
Fixed mounted thrusters
The Kongsberg US range comprises standard
azimuth thruster units with input powers
from 250 - 5000kW to deliver a bollard pull
ranging from 11 to over 170 tonnes. Modular
design allows the configuration, mounting
type and size to be closely matched to user
requirements. The US type is available with
FP/CP propeller, open or ducted. For high
propulsive efficiency contra-rotating propellers
are available. Different propeller diameters are
available to suit the vessel application.
Mounting options
Weld in: The thruster is mounted in two stages:
upper assembly with the hull fitting is raised/
lowered into position and welded in place. The underwater assembly is
then bolted to the thruster.
Bolt-in, top mounted: The casing plate is welded into the hull. The complete
thruster unit is lowered onto the casing flange and bolted into position.

Azimuth-PM thrusters
AZ-PM combines a ring-type permanent magnet
electric motor, propeller and nozzle in a tightly
integrated propulsion unit. It offers improved
efficiency and simplicity compared to conventional
geared azimuth thrusters with separate electric
motors in the thruster room. The permanent
magnet azimuthing thruster is a new addition to
the Kongsberg family of thrusters, building on the
design developed and verified on the permanent
magnet tunnel thrusters with regard to thruster
design and motor integration.
A steel structure carries the steering bearing and this is simply bolted
into the hull. Only limited footprint space and headroom is required
in the thruster room as the only components there are the slipring
case that transfers power to the thruster and the compact electric
steering motors. Speed control is by varying the frequency of the
voltage supplied to the thruster motor.

Azipull thrusters
The Kongsberg Azipull is a low drag, high efficiency pulling thruster
that provides both steering and propulsion. It combines the
advantage of the pulling propeller with the flexibility of using almost
any type of drive to suit specific vessel requirements. Azipull
thrusters are designed for continuous service speeds up to 24
knots, while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability. They offer high
hydrodynamic and fuel efficiency with low noise and vibration levels.
A substantial rudder area delivers excellent course stability. Azipull
units also allow the aft end of the hull to be optimised for minimum
resistance and simplified construction.
Model variations:
• All Azipull units are available
with CP or FP propellers and
can be delivered with remote
control systems.
• The AZP 085 and 100 can also be
available with FF propeller

PROPELLERS
Kongsberg is a world leader in propeller design and supplies
controllable pitch propellers, fixed pitch propellers, and the
innovative adjustable bolted propeller. Unlike other propulsor
designers we have our own hydrodynamics research centre,
equipped with two cavitation tunnels. In over 40 years of operation
the centre has tested around 1,400 propellers and waterjet pumps
to perfect and prove the design. Kongsberg propellers deliver good
fuel economy, low vibration and noise levels and minimal cavitation.
KONGSBERG – PROPULSORS 61
Controllable pitch propellers
A wide range of hub sizes is available for powers from around 500kW
up to 75MW for both four and five bladed propellers.

Fixed pitch propellers
Propeller designs are matched to the vessel's hull and its operating
profile. The characteristics of our Kamewa range of propellers
are good fuel economy, low vibration/noise levels and no harmful
cavitation.
64 KONGSBERG – PROPULSORS
Adjustable bolted propellers
The adjustable bolted propeller (ABP) allows the most efficient
blade matching for optimum ef ficiency while simplif ying
installation. It uses a hollow hub with four, five or six blades bolted
to it from the inside. The special bolts used to attach the blades
require only simple hand tools. Slotted holes in the hub allow
the blade pitch angle to be adjusted in service to compensate
for variations in hull resistance through life. The propellers
overall weight is reduced for easier shipment, handling and
mounting. Individual blades can be replaced without drydocking.
Range from 3.000 kW up to 75MW.
Key features:
• Spare propeller not needed • Blade change possible without

WATERJETS
The waterjet has many advantages over a propeller. The very high
efficiency of the Kamewa waterjet pumps offer higher speeds
for the same power or substantially lower fuel consumption at a
constant speed with less power.
KONGSBERG – PROPULSORS 67
Steel series
Our steel waterjets
have the best pump
efficiency on the market.
Kongsberg can offer the
best performance for
any application and
requirements thanks to different pump types and our modularised
scope of supply. Also the requirement for high efficiency at speeds
around 30 knots can now be met.
The high efficiency can be utilised for reduced fuel consumption for a
given workload and consequently reduced CO2 emissions, as well as
increased range. In addition, use of inboard hydraulics also reduces the
risk of oil spills.
Our modular set-up means two alternative steering and reversing units
are available.
The compact split type reversing bucket and steering nozzle enables superior
position keeping and manoeuvrability at low and high speeds. This helps
to reduce fuel consumption. It also cuts noise and emissions in harbour
manoeuvring and saves time, as well as improving safety. In high speed turns,
the jets maintain speed with high efficiency – a highly valued benefit
for patrol vessels and other vessels.
The box shaped steering and reversing unit occupies the smallest
possible installation space. This is important for fitting into narrow
hulls, such as trimarans. On yacht applications the reversing bucket
must fit under the swimming platform.

Steel series – Modular installation
Steel series waterjets are designed to be easy to install in hulls
constructed from different materials. The owner or yard can choose
from three delivery concepts, each of which can also have a choice
of three different materials for the inlet duct. Kongsberg recognises
that shipyards have their individual preferences for the way in which
a waterjet is integrated into the vessel, the installation sequence, and
whether the inlet duct is supplied or built by the yard to drawings.
The first is that the yard receives the waterjet as a complete skid
mounted unit with pump and inlet together and possibly even the
hydraulics mounted. This results in a simple and effective installation.
The second option is that the inlet, hydraulics and controls are supplied
as a loose items, while the waterjet unit is supplied as a separate unit to
be bolted in place at a later stage of the construction of the vessel.
The third option appeals to shipyards that prefer to fabricate their own
inlet ducts as part of the hull construction using the same material.
This way they can achieve to have highest strength of the hull as well
as the
Aluminium inlet

optimal inlet duct efficiency. In this case Kongsberg supplies the
waterjet unit with controls and hydraulics, and provides the drawings
with optimum inlet shape for the yard to manufacture.
Delivery programme
The diagram shows the ways in which a steel series waterjet can be
supplied with a choice of three ways of delivering the waterjet to suit yard
or owner preferences.
KONGSBERG – PROPULSORS 71
Aluminium series
Major
components in
aluminium make
for a light and efficient
waterjet. The aluminium inlet
duct is integral with the thrust
bearing and hydraulic system
making the waterjet a complete
package.
Aluminium series waterjets provide a high volume flow from the axial
pump, with a good driving thrust at lower speeds making them suitable
for both planing and displacement craft. They can be installed as
single, twin, triple or quadruple systems to suit the vessel design, with
steering/reversing or as boosters.
Impellers are made to match optimally the engine and gearbox range
available for best performance.
All waterjets are supplied with a control system ideal for smaller fast
boats whose operator interface can be console or chair mounted to suit
the customer’s preference.

A5 Series waterjets
We have unveiled a new range of
Kamewa waterjets. Taking more
than three-years research and
development, the new A5
Series improves upon the
popular FF range of
Kamewa waterjets
by providing greater
thrust from a waterjet
with a more compact
inboard footprint.
Geared towards smaller boats and craft up to 25m in length, the A5 series
is manufactured from high-grade marine aluminium and available in
seven sizes with power outputs between 100kW and 1230kW. The A5 will
eventually replace the FF range and size 29 will be first to hit the market.

Our experience shows that the key feature of an AHT winch is rapid
dynamic response. Our low pressure hydraulic driven winches are
established favourites because of their excellent dynamic performance.
The newly developed E26 proportional pressure compensated valve
offers even more precise and responsive load independent speed control,
more accurate tension control and load sensing and less complex piping
installation for the shipyard. A hybrid solution has also been developed
where the normal loads are covered by AC asynchronous electric motors
but with a hydraulic supplement providing quick response to load
peaks. We are also introducing permanent magnet motors, which have
similar dynamic capabilities and controllability as for the low-pressure
hydraulic system for customers who prefer all-electric systems.

With the unique and patented Cable Traction Control Unit (CTCU)
technology, the traditional steel wire rope can be replaced with fibre rope.
The usefulness of a steel wire rope at depths greater than 4000 metres is
limited, whereas the fibre rope has the same capacity at all depths. For
example coring operation at depths below 4000 metres can be efficiently
performed with the CTCU. The compact version of the CTCU has a pulling
capacity up to 30 tonnes, and rope lengths up to 12,000 metres can be
accommodated. CTCU systems with pulling capacity up to 150 tonnes can
be delivered.
We offer frames for handling hydrographic equipment over the stern with
ratings up to 30 tonnes, an outreach of 4.5 metres and a clear lifting height of 8
metres.

Typical applications:
• Semi-submersible
• Drilling rigs
• Accommodation rigs
• Pipe-laying barges
• Drill ships
• Crane vessels
In a movable windlass
installation each of the
moorings lines has its own
fairlead and stopper. A single windlass
moves along the frame to tension each chain
in turn, the stoppers are actuated and locked on to the
chain, transferring the mooring loads to the hull. An alternative system
has a triple windlass, one lifter to each mooring, with associated stoppers
and fairleads.
Both drive systems have been developed to achieve the best possible
dynamic properties in challenging conditions, which is especially
important for bottom trawling where the trawl can get stuck in the seabed.
In bad weather the system keeps the trawl gear in the best position to fish
efficiently and reduces wear and tear on equipment.
BRH64 low pressure hydraulic winches are constructed with high torque low
speed motors based on 64 bar pressure. Advantages include quiet operation
and low maintenance cost. BRH64 gives high dynamic shooting speed,
which gives you good and safe control of the operation. The towing pumps
can be powered by frequency drive which gives variable rpm on the electric
motors to suit the oil flow demands of the hydraulic motors. This gives
reduced fuel consumption, less wear and tear and even quieter running. We
can offer winches with pull from 3 to 74 tonnes without gear transmission,
and winches from 75 to 150 tonnes with a small reduction gear ratio.
Electric fishing winch systems are also available with standard AC motors
and planetary or parallel gear transmission.

Autotrawl system
The Synchro RTX Autotrawl system provides dynamic control of
single-rig and twin-rig bottom trawling, pelagic trawling and pair
trawling.The trawl system is one of the most advanced on the market,
using integrated safety logic and a user-friendly interface. Essential
control and monitoring functions are fully integrated, giving major
benefits during commissioning and operation. This system keeps the
trawls fully open when changing course during trawling. The trawl
is kept moving at constant speed, even under difficult conditions. If
the trawl snags, the system pays out wire automatically to prevent
damage.
All come with wheelhouse control and monitoring stations that display
all the key data. The quality, robust construction and flexibility of these
winches have made them firm favourites with major tug operators around
the world. Furthermore, the equipment from our towing winch portfolio
is well suitable for icebreakers operating in arctic conditions as well as to
any vessel suitable for emergency towing operation, like coastal and multi-
purpose vessels.

SAVe Line
Platform supply, multi-purpose, emergency response/rescue,
coastguard and research vessels.
Uses active front end (AFE) technology for more stable clean voltage and
fast response to load control changes.
SAVe Step
Power intensive ships - small cruise, diving support, platform supply,
construction support, jack-up and well intervention vessels. and
research vessels.
Similar to the SAVe Line system but specifically designed for vessels
with over 20MW of installed generated power. The main difference is
the incorporation of transformers to step-down the voltage. The system
uses high voltage (3-11kV) on the main switchboard and generators and
low voltage on the consumers and distribution. Combined pulse (12, 18
or 24 pulse) and step-down transformers can be used in combination
with pulse drive units. Alternatively, the system can be based on AFE
drive units, therefore only step-down transformers are used and all the
advantages of the SAVe Line system with AFE are realised in the most fuel
efficient way.
Conventional hybrid
Fishing, platform supply, construction vessels. Has the simplest
systems architecture with a separate generator and electric motor.
The generator is normally mounted on the front of the main diesel
with a standard electric motor on the gearbox. Main engine can
operate as a generator set for high power requirements. When less
power is required the auxiliary generator set can provide the hotel
load and sufficient power for slow speed cruising.
HSG drive
DC
The SAVe Charge solution has only one conversion between energy
storage and consumers. Every electrical and mechanical conversion
in a power system will introduce losses. By reducing conversions and
combining with other Kongsberg Marine technologies like permanent
magnet propulsion and automated crossing, the full efficiency gain of
an integrated system solution can be realized.
Safety
The system is designed with the capability to supply energy in
any direction and can bypass any single fault. Thereby providing
additional levels of redundancy and safety for personnel and
equipment. Back-up engines can be integrated for increased operational
resilience (reduced charging capability, adverse weather conditions,
etc.)
Benefits:
• No fuel consumption or emissions • Reduced losses – Combining
– During normal operation no the newest technologies in power,
engines are required automation and propulsion
• Increased safety – Can supply reduces losses to a minimum
energy in any direction, which • Equal life cycle – Intelligent energy
enables bypass of a single failure balancing to ensure equal energy
in the power system storage load profile
While growing concern over global warming has prompted the need
for overarching international treaties to reduce the carbon footprint,
the uptake of marine batteries has spurred some national and
regional policy makers to accelerate the shift to greener shipping.
Hybrid solution
Even if the energy storage system cannot be recharged from the land-
based electrical grid, several of the operational benefits can be used to
improve the operating conditions for the engines and increase vessel safety.
This would typically allow for installation of smaller main engines. Depending
on type and size, the energy storage installation can also be arranged to take
all rapid transients or even allow the generator to operate at fixed load.
Energy management
To help customers reduce
energy consumption and
become more environmentally
friendly, the Kongsberg energy
management system provides
unprecedented access to
operational data.
Benefits include reducing the need for costly on-site service visits and
provision of everyday troubleshooting assistance, leading to reduced
vessel downtime. Using remote access we can find system faults,
download log files, and inspect the systems’ health, allowing us to offer
advice on preventive maintenance and if required, adjust some of the
system settings.
