An azimuth thruster (100) for a marine vessel is disclosed. The azimuth thruster (100) comprises an upper gear unit (102), a lower gear unit (106), and an input shaft (118) drivingly connecting the upper gear unit (102) and the lower gear unit (106). The input shaft (118) includes an inner lubricant channel (200) extending in a longitudinal direction of the input shaft (118). The inner lubricant channel (200) may allow for lubrication directly provided to the highly stressed components of the lower gear unit (106) of the azimuth thruster (100) to improve lubrication and heat dissipation.
