Key Capabilities

Seawater-Cooled & Gearless

Copenhagen Subsea thrusters use seawater cooling and a gearless design — eliminating gear noise and reducing maintenance requirements while delivering sustained high thrust.

Minimal Acoustic Signature

The gearless design produces significantly less noise than conventional thruster designs — important for scientific, defense, and inspection applications where acoustic interference must be minimized.

Proven in Demanding Environments

Copenhagen Subsea thrusters are deployed on work-class ROVs, AUVs, and manned submersibles operating in the world's most demanding offshore and deep-water environments.
