KAMEWA CPP and Bow Thruster Retrofit Case KAMEWA CPP和船首推力器改造案例
Updated: February 3, 2026

Core transformation benefits (Adapting to the original features of KAMEWA, improving quality and reducing costs)

The control accuracy has achieved a leapfrog improvement: the thrust/steering adjustment accuracy has been reduced to ±0.3° to ±0.5°, the response time is ≤1.5 seconds, and the DP positioning accuracy is ±0.1m. The maneuverability of berthing, positioning, and lateral movement of ships has been significantly enhanced, fully meeting the positioning requirements of DP1/DP2/DP3.

Significant reduction in energy consumption: "Electrical frequency conversion + original factory hydraulic load sensing" dual energy conservation, the energy consumption of the side push itself is reduced by 20%-25%, and the comprehensive energy consumption of the ship is reduced by 8%-15%. Long-term operation greatly reduces fuel/electricity costs.

Reliability and quietness improvement: Digital control replaces relays, reducing the failure downtime rate by over 60%, and increasing the side-pushing mean time between failures (MTBF) to over 10,000 hours. The transformation does not affect the original silent and low-vibration characteristics of KAMEWA.

Maintenance costs have been significantly reduced: Intelligent fault diagnosis enables precise fault location, shortening maintenance time by 70%, eliminating the need for frequent manual inspections, reducing the operational intensity of crew members, and lowering maritime maintenance costs by 80%.

Strong compliance and scalability: Complies with the latest classification society regulations and ship energy efficiency management requirements, avoiding the inability to pass the annual inspection of ships due to outdated equipment. The digital system supports the later connection to the ship's smart shipping platform and shore-based remote monitoring system, reserving interfaces for the intelligent upgrade of ships.

Original factory features retained: The renovation only upgrades the electrical system without modifying the original factory hydraulic/mechanical structure, fully retaining the core advantages of KAMEWA side thrusters such as quietness, high thrust density, and maintenance-free.
