Ignition-Protected Thrusters
At VETUS, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety and performance of your marine vessel. Our line of ignition-protected DC bow and stern thrusters is designed to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve when operating in potentially hazardous conditions.
Enhanced Safety with Ignition Protection
In compartments housing gasoline or petrol engines, fuel lines, or propane gas storage, the risk of explosive fumes poses a significant threat. To mitigate this risk, our ignition-protected thrusters are equipped with watertight motor housing. This feature prevents fumes or gas from reaching the internal mechanism of the thruster, averting the possibility of an explosion. Complying with the ISO 8846 Marine 'Ignition Protection' standard, our thrusters offer a level of safety that is paramount in such environments.
