START UP OF BOW THRUSTER ON RIVER-CRUISER “MIKHAIL BULGAKOV”
Fluidmecanica perform startup of the 3rd bow thruster for river cruisers under RRR approval.
Fluidmecanica has successfully put in operation the bow thruster of 330 kW on the river-cruiser “Mikhail Bulgakov” for company JSC «MOSTURFLOT».
We have already delivered two bow thrusters, with the same power, to the ships “Kronstadt” & “Nizhny Novgorod” from company “Vodohod cruise company”. Now this customer added a special requirement: due the narrow passages and operation into locks, it was necessary to reduce the time from full port to full starboard to 6 seconds. On test we did it in 2-3 seconds only!
Fluidmecanica has a wide experience in the develop of tailor-made solutions for bow thrusters, steering gears and deck equipment for river vessels. It is the only one with Company Manufacturer Certificate from Russian River Register, for all this huge range of equipment.
