Fuber Marine Rim‑driven Thruster

Integrated Main & Side Propulsion Solution|High‑efficiency Electric Propulsion Unit

Product Overview

Fuber marine rim‑driven thruster is designed for inland and coastal vessels, serving as both main propeller and side thruster. Adopting integrated rim‑driven structure without traditional transmission shaft, it features compact integration, low operating noise and low transmission loss. The fully‑sealed cabin delivers outstanding corrosion resistance. Suitable for bulk carriers, work boats and engineering vessels, it realizes sailing propulsion, lateral movement and berthing positioning, delivering stable and reliable electric power for ships.

Core Advantages

Dual‑use for Main & Side Propulsion

Works as main propulsion for sailing, also acts as side thruster for berthing and lateral shifting operations.

Rim‑driven High Efficiency & Energy Saving

Shaft‑free design greatly reduces mechanical loss with high electric energy utilization, cutting operational costs compared with conventional diesel engines.

Cabin Space‑saving

External pod‑mount layout requires no inner cabin space, optimizing internal hull arrangement.

Low‑noise & Seawater Corrosion Resistant

Low vibration & noise during operation. Anti‑corrosion cabin material adapts to complex inland and coastal water conditions.

Application Scenarios

  • Main & auxiliary side power for inland bulk carriers and cargo vessels

  • Port work boats, patrol boats and maritime engineering vessels

  • Electric retrofitting & upgrading for tourist boats and official vessels

  • New‑build or power‑system replacement for small coastal ships

Fuber marine rim‑driven thruster, green electric marine power, custom solutions available.
