The world of offshore work changed forever with the development
of dynamic positioning (DP) systems to control a vessel’s
position automatically with the help of thrusters.
Brunvoll delivered the first thrusters for DP Operation in 1974.
Ships could now work in any water depth, respond rapidly to
weather conditions, complete short tasks more quickly, and
avoid the risk of damaging seabed hardware. At Brunvoll, we
are proud to have been a part of this progress from the start.
With DP operating 24/7 in some of the world’s most challenging
1985 “Seven Pelican”– thrusters still going strong
In an extraordinary test of endurance, the 4 Brunvoll tunnel thrusters on board the vessel
“Seven Pelican” have accumulated more than 25 years of operation. In 2010,
a full inspection of the 3 LowNoise bow thrusters and the stern thruster showed they are
still going strong and still satisfy the stringent noise reduction requirements.
