Innovative propellers for safe sailing : An Inside Look at the Making of Royal Caribbean's Azipods

Given the problems experienced by several cruise lines using Azipods, especially as these units age, and the millions of dollars spent to repair/replace them, and the increased depth required which isn't always available in the smaller cruise ports, the future of this concept may be in jeopardy for the foreseeable future.
