| 摘要 |
A vessel comprising a propulsion unit (10), the propulsion unit having a propeller (14), where the propulsion unit is arranged to be pivoted to any orientation between a first deployed orientation and a second retracted orientation, where in the first orientation the propeller provides thrust in a thrust direction for moving the vessel and in the second orientation is pivoted around a pivoting axis (17), wherein the pivoting axis is proximate to a propeller bearing located near or at the propeller, in a way such that in the second orientation, the propulsion unit is substantially flush with a hull (2) of the vessel, and wherein energy for providing thrust to the propulsion unit is supplied in manner adapted to allow pivoting of the propulsion unit between the first and the second orientation. The document further relates to a use of such a vessel, which is in particular suited for combined operation in deep as well as shallow water. |
