GE SeaJet - Model Pod -Ice-class Pods
SeaJet™ Pod Ice-class pods offer maneuverability, reliability and efficiency. Vessels must have ice-breaking and ice-maneuvering capabilities to traverse the increasingly popular northern sea route between Europe and Asia, which is bound by ice for most of the year. GE’s SeaJet™ Pod (7.5MW and 15MW) is an ice class electric pod propulsion unit engineered to provide 360 maneuverability and other significant advantages over traditional propeller technology.

Improved Operation
- Optimal maneuverability with sealed, self-contained electric pods that are steerable at different angles
- Better ice-breaking capabilities with higher overall hydrodynamic efficiency
- More reliable and compact—compared to traditional propeller machines such as azimuth thrusters—with no need for gears or for the propulsion unit to be housed within the vessel
- Anti-pollution seal system
Less Maintenance
- More robust and reliable than synchronous machines due to advanced induction motor technology drawn from GE’s marine business
- No risk of oil leakages into the sea Optimal technician access inside the pod with reduced internal webs and stringers
- Advanced bearing technology
Enhanced Safety
- Safer handling of brake/locking and turning without need for manual access into the pod
- Sea-proven power and auxiliary slip rings
- Improved adoption to hull with modularized configuration
- Compliant to IEC standards
Greater Efficiency
- Improved vessel efficiency by up to 5% helps operators save up to $1MM depending on the vessel type and operational profiles
- Reduced energy consumption due to electrical steering system
- Smaller induction motor with bilateral cooling system
- Low-resistance squirrel cage
