There's a HUGE difference between how its done on a cruise ship and this....

I don't know that I'd call it a "huge" difference. Unless I mis read,
it's a pod unit which pivots 360 deg and is normally set up to pull
rather than push. Biggest difference I see is that most azipod units on
ships that I know of, have the motor in the pod.

The Volvo system does not azimuth 360 degrees. Its more like an outdrive in
its range of motion, among other differences.

Azipod units also aren't usually set up as "pullers".
