Bow/Tunnel Thruster
A marine bow thruster is a propulsion device installed in a ship or vessel's bow (front) section to provide additional lateral thrust, aiding in manoeuvring and improving vessel control, especially in confined or crowded waters. Marine bow thrusters play a crucial role in enhancing vessel manoeuvrability and safety, providing additional lateral thrust to assist in precise navigation and manoeuvring operations, particularly in challenging maritime environments. Their integration into ship designs contributes to improved operational efficiency and navigational safety across a wide range of marine applications.
