The Voith Schneider propeller allows the control of thrust in magnitude and direction extremely precise and fast. One main advantage of the Voith Schneider system for the propulsion of modern Escort Tugs is step less control of thrust in magnitude and direction as well as increased water inflow to the propeller during escort mode.
The ASD propulsion offers high bollard pull per horsepower and good overall fuel economy when combined with enhanced hull lines. The ASD concept is highly maneuverable which has proven to offer increased efficiency offshore when compared to conventional propulsion.
