Azimuth propulsors have become the standard choice for propulsion in various types of ships due to their excellent maneuverability and operational versatility. These propulsion units are essential for achieving the required agility in ship-assist tugs and for enabling novel operation modes in modern icebreakers, such as ice-milling and ice management.
