Content

Since 2002 Bosch Rexroth has been developing controls for ships with Voith Schneider propulsions. In addition to the electronic remote control, hydraulic components are applied to adjust the VSP control shaft. Work boats such as platform supply vessels, tug boats, cable and buoy laying vessels as well as double ended ferries are equipped with this special type of propulsion system which combines excellent maneuverability with highest safety and availability.

Steering Technology

Using a joystick, the operator sets the amount and direction of the thrust. The control generates signals to actuate the hydraulic cylinders and valves which adjust the longitudinal and transverse thrust of the Voith Schneider propeller.

Offshore supply vessel

Particularly with platform supply vessels, absolute safety of operation is imperative. The control's electronics provide a redundant system which ensures the ship remains maneuverable at all times.

Active roll stabilization

Active roll stabilization, a patent-registered invention by Voith Turbo, increases the operational readiness of platform supply vessels with rough seas. Developed in close cooperation by Voith Turbo, Esders and Rexroth, this innovation reduces the heave of a ship, cruising or at standstill.
