Reintjes has recently delivered an LAF 7760 gearbox for a tanker to the Turkish shipyard Torlak Denizillik in Tuzla.
The gearbox, designed for operation in iced waters according to BV Ice 1A, incorporates a controllable, secondary PTO/PTH for a transmissible output of 1,300kW at 1,800rpm which can be used as generator drive, "power take-off" (PTO), during normal operation.
The propulsion concept of the tanker consists of a MAN engine with 4,000kW at 750rpm, which powers a Berg propeller via the Reintjes LAF 7760.
To maintain manoeuvrability in the event of a main engine breakdown, the "power take home" (PTH) can be used for emergency propulsion.
Reintjes gearboxes can optionally be equipped with PTO and/or PTH.
