Electrical Booster Drives

 
In regard to its functions, the booster drive can be considered as an additional cylinder to the main diesel motor of a ship. The capability of the booster to deliver its rated torque in the whole speed range from about 0 rpm up to its rated speed results a lower thermal load of the diesel motor and long term lower abrasion will follow.

Furthermore, the booster can be utilised for manoeuvring in ports or for a very low speed operation. And as an additional benefit, the booster drive is provided as an emergency or take home drive.
