Marine Diesel Engine Tunnel Thruster
Marine diesel engine tunnel thruster is a propulsion device used on boats and ships to aid in maneuvering, especially when docking or navigating in tight spaces. Here's a breakdown of its main features and how it works. The primary function of a bow thruster is to provide lateral thrust, which helps the vessel move sideways or make small adjustments in its orientation. This is particularly useful in tight harbors or when maneuvering close to other vessels. It is driven by the diesel engine. Apart from that, there also are electric type and hydraulic type.
Feature:
Durability and reliability
Compact structure, light weight
Flexible operation and reaction
High maneuverability
Vibration resistance
Overview
The marine tunnel thruster includes marine controllable pitch tunnel thruster, fixed pitch tunnel thruster for the clutch and inclusion and controllable. The fixed pitch bow thruster should be used when the speed of the ship is not more than 5 knots.

The tunnel thruster provides thrust to the vessel to move sideways, which simplifies the operation of the vessel and increase the operation flexibility of the ship. Marine Thruster is installed in the stern or bow in order to improve docking, slow speed maneuvering, emergency steering, slow forward speed or station keeping at zero. There are two types of tunnel thruster, fixed pitch tunnel thruster and controllable pitch tunnel thruster.
It can be customized according to different needs.
