Rim Drive Technology Achieves DNV Type of Approval for POD Series
Rim Drive Technology has reached an important milestone: the POD series has received DNV Type Approval. This
A stern thruster is an auxiliary motor installed at the rear of a boat that provides additional lateral thrust. But what is a stern thruster in practice? It is the solution for maximum control when docking, turning, and maneuvering in tight spaces. The stern thrusters from Rim Drive Technology combine powerful performance with silent operation and give you full control over your vessel. In addition, these systems are available in both tunnel and box configurations, allowing you to choose a solution that fits your vessel design and installation requirements.
Thanks to the innovative rim drive technology, these systems operate without a central shaft, resulting in fewer vibrations and reduced maintenance. The immediate response ensures that every movement is precise and predictable. This makes maneuvering not only easier but also safer.
