Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a modular azimuth thruster for propelling a vessel, having a thruster housing around which water flows, and comprising: a standardized core unit having a core unit housing forming part of the thruster housing, a transmission line arranged within in the core unit housing, comprising a propeller shaft extending in a longitudinal direction of the thruster housing, and a propeller arranged outside the thruster housing and being operationally connected to the propeller shaft. The present invention further relates to a vessel comprising an azimuth thruster and a method of configuring an azimuth thruster.

Claim (Index 7):
An azimuth thruster according  claim 1 , wherein the core unit housing is adapted for providing the structural integrity of the azimuth thruster by absorbing structural loads and bearing loads induced by the weight and operation of the azimuth thruster itself and hydro induced forces acting on the thruster housing during use.
