Berg Propulsion has signed a contract with Dubai Shipbuilding and Engineering to deliver their first two production units of Berg Propulsion Azimuth Thrusters (BAT) in early 2010.
Prior to the delivery of the first two production units, Berg Propulsion will deliver a full scale prototype that will be installed into a survey vessel in Sweden in June 2009 enabling Berg Propulsion Technology to evaluate the design, manufacturing and installation process.
The first two production units are designated as the BAT 626. They have controllable pitch propellers and will be diesel engine driven. Each unit is designed for 1,839kW.
The new Berg Propulsion Azimuth Thruster (BAT) is designed for high performance and heavyduty operation. The BAT will be available in both the controllable pitch propeller and fixed pitch propeller versions and is suitable for either electric or diesel drive up to 2,500kW.
