are primarily used for docking, slow speed maneuvering, emergency
steering and station keeping at zero or slow forward speed. They
are installed transversely in the bow or the stern of a vessel.
Electric drive bow thrusters with fixed pitch
propeller are available from 250 to 10,750 HP (8.0MW).
They are designed for variable speed electric motor input, either
DC with SCR control systems or AC with variable frequency drives.
Most are used in dynamic positioning applications. Read
