PROPELLER TECHNOLOGY FOR CRUISE
SHIPS
In recent years, many cruise ships built in Finland have
been equipped with Finnish-made Azipod propulsion systems.
Azipod propulsion units allow huge cruise ships to make a
full turn without moving forward. An example of the ships
equipped with an Azipod propulsion system is the second vessel
in the Voyager cruise ship series, the Explorer of the Seas,
which was manufactured by Kvaerner Masa-Yards for the American
company, Royal Caribbean International.
