Keeping Amsterdam moving

Thanks to the expertise of our skilled technicians, this ZF3000 Thruster has been fully overhauled. After thorough cleaning, replacing parts, precise reassembly, and testing, it is now ready for many more hours of reliable operation.
We wish the ferry service in Amsterdam safe and successful voyages!

Looking beyond bearings and gears Looking beyond bearings and gears

A thruster inspection is about more than checking bearings and gears. We also inspect critical components such as the steering tube flange, where correct alignment and tolerances are essential for reliable operation.
During this AQM901CRP project, the steering tube flange was found to be out of tolerance. Thanks to a replacement flange available from stock, we completed the emergency repair quickly and minimized downtime.
After successful commissioning, the thruster was back in operation and the river cruise resumed service.
Need support with a breakdown, damage, or urgent thruster repair? Schraven B.V. is ready with inspections, repairs, and spare parts from stock.

Planned maintenance

For a new client in Germany, we completed the scheduled maintenance on the Schottel STP200 Twin propeller system fitted to their passenger ship. The propulsion system was fully overhauled and tested in our workshop and delivered back to Germany, ready for reliable operation. This is how we operate at Schraven B.V.: straightforward, skilled and dependable.
