Core Definition


HAIDING SHIPYARD Z-drive Tug adopts Z-type drive azimuth thruster, realizing 360° omnidirectional thrust output through "Z-shaped" steering propulsion unit, and can adjust navigation direction without traditional rudders.


Technical Features


1.Propulsion System: HAIDING SHIPYARD Z-drive Tug has Z-type module integrates propeller and steering mechanism, providing 360° dead-angle-free thrust;

2.Control: PLC integrated control, response time ≤ 0.5 seconds, positioning accuracy of ±0.3 meters, supporting composite operations (towing, pushing, lateral traction);

3.Power: HAIDING SHIPYARD Z-drive Tug Energy-saving by ≥28% compared with traditional tugs, enabling 25% reduction in main engine power configuration;

4. Structure: Eliminates rudder system/propeller shaft, with compact stern layout and more sufficient deck working space.

Core Advantages


1.Extreme Maneuverability: Turning radius in narrow waters is only 1.2 times the ship length;

2.High Efficiency & Energy Saving: HAIDING SHIPYARD Z-drive Tug’s propulsion efficiency increased by 15%-20%, significantly reducing long-term operation and maintenance costs;

3.Safety Redundancy: Dual-engine & dual-propeller configuration is common, maintaining basic control capability even in case of single-point failure.


Applicable Scenarios


Berthing/departure assistance for ultra-large ships in ports, in-port shifting scheduling, offshore platform positioning, towing in narrow waterways (port operation scenarios requiring high control accuracy).
