Kongsberg wins contract to supply low-noise thrusters for India’s new research vessel, marking its 100th rim-drive delivery.
Kongsberg Maritime has secured a contract to supply rim-drive thrusters for a new acoustic research vessel being built for India’s DRDO, aimed at conducting sensitive oceanographic and sonar research.
The vessel, under construction at GRSE, will require ultra-low underwater noise, achieved through Kongsberg’s gearless rim-drive technology featuring permanent magnet motors, tipless six-bladed propellers, and noise-reducing nozzles.
The package includes two azimuth and two tunnel thrusters plus the MCON control system, marking Kongsberg’s 100th global rim-drive delivery.
Systems will be delivered in line with the ship’s construction schedule.
