The Steerprop ARC Arctic Azimuth Propulsor line has been designed and built with multiple layers of redundancies and fail-safes for safe, reliable and efficient operations in the most extreme operating conditions on earth. These advanced propulsors combine icebreaking power with the reliability of mechanical construction and the accurate controls of modern automation technology.

Azimuth propulsors are a tool second to none in ice management operations. The ability to direct the vectored thrust from the propeller (ie, the slipstream) in full 360 degrees, the thrust itself can be used to widen fairways, blow ice ridges or free arctic offshore installations from the ice.
