The marine single propeller bow thruster is a type of bow thruster with a single propeller. It is a device for maneuvering the ship at zero or low speed with propellers built into a circular plate across the hull at the bow or stern. It uses the water pump installed in the bow and tail of the hull or the propeller in the starboard through the pipe to cross with the jet of water produced by the reaction force to make the ship turn. According to its drive types, there are L-drive bow thruster and Z-drive bow thruster. Approved by CCS, RS, BV, RINA...
Feature:

Overview
The marine single propeller bow thruster can gain it power from electric motor, hydraulic motor, or diesel engine. It is suitable for transportation vessel, tugboat, ocean engineering vessel, ro-ro ship, cargo liner, etc. It is usually set in the hull near the head or tail end through the two sides of the pipeline, the pipeline is welded directly on the rib, the edge of the pipeline is surrounded by round steel, and the bow thruster is installed in the middle line of the pipeline. The marine bow thruster is essential tools for enhancing the maneuverability and safety of modern vessels, providing significant advantages during low-speed operations.
