Tunnel vision
Article Abstract:
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines' (RCCL) requirement that its new cruise ships be capable of holding their position without the use of anchors resulted in the use of resiliently mounted tunnel thrusters. The thrusters, supplied by Brunvoll A/S, answered the dynamic positioning need of RCCL's Millenium Class series line while overcoming the problem of vibration and noise that comes with the use of such equipment. Noise reduction on the thrusters were measured at the range of 11-15 dB(A).
