SCHOTTEL wins orders for rudder propeller systems for six advanced all-slewing tugs

Posted on

The construction of six advanced all-slewing tugs for the Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) in Perth, Australia will be driven by SCHOTTEL's rudder propeller system, which will use the ART 85-32W designed by Robert Allan. Type, SCHOTTEL will deliver 18 SRP 430 FP systems with a single power of 1765 kW, which is expected to be delivered in the fall of 2017.
SCHOTTEL wins orders for rudder propeller systems for six advanced all-slewing tugs
The Fortescue Metals Group stated that the Schotter contract was awarded to Schotter for its incredible market share and experience in the field of full-rotary tugboat propulsion, as well as Schotter in Western Australia and Hedland. The port has a great influence and the market has been working for more than a decade.
It is reported that the advanced full-rotation tugboat is known for its outstanding maneuverability and ability, and can control the position of the tugboat in the most difficult operating environment, with the most versatile advantages. The third propeller ensures that the steeringman can perform the same simple maneuvering at the bow or stern to ensure safety, but usually the bow is operated.
With these new tugs, Fortescue Metals can provide a variety of escort and berthing services. Port Hedland, located in Western Australia, is the world's largest export port for iron ore, where new tugs will operate. Fortescue Metal Group has obtained a towing permit at the port to serve a variety of ships that transport iron ore, especially to China and Japan. The permit includes the development of new tugs and facilities.

42mm Friction Bolt

China 42Mm Friction Bolt,Split Set Bolt supplier & manufacturer, offer low price, high quality Mining Bolt,Split Set Rock Bolts, etc.


Split set bolt is also called "Split Set Stabilizer". It was successfully developed by American Professor Scott in the early 1970s. It was used as a patented product by Ingersoll Rand for mining support. In the early 1980s, the Beijing Institute of Well Construction conducted exploratory tests on slotted pipe anchors in the laboratory and achieved good results. Later, it was gradually promoted and applied in the coal system.


Split set bolt is a underground mining support product. It has simple installation process and convenient use. It has strong anchoring force and tensile strength in underground mining and shotcrete support. It has Large force, strong expansion force.


Split set bolt has good supporting effect. Bolt support conforms to modern rock mechanics and surrounding rock control theory in terms of support principles, and belongs to active support. After the bolt is installed, the stability of the surrounding rock can be mobilized and utilized, and the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock can be fully utilized, and controls the deformation of the surrounding rock of the roadway effectively.so split set bolt can protect the stability of the surrounding rock of the roadway and improve the maintenance of the roadway.


Split set bolt has simple installation and labor saving. It uses fewer supporting materials and lighter weight than other bolts. When tunneling, the transportation volume of supporting materials is reduced, and the labor intensity is greatly reduced, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of tunneling.
