Abstract

See full text

A novel design of a hydraulic steering arrangement for a thruster of a marine vessel is specifically designed for thrusters intended to operate in an arctic environment where ice is present. To meet the arctic demands the steering arrangement is provided with a cross-over safety block arranged close to the hydraulic steering motor for absorbing the torque subjected to the thruster by ice for instance.
