Steering grid bow thruster

Bow thrusters, that keep you going full ahead

The steering grid bow thruster is available as standard from 100 to 1000 HP and with propeller diameters varying from 580 to 1600 mm. The steering grid is protected against seizing and can be steered hydraulically through 360º at full load. As standard, the propeller can be replaced from the inside. All steering grid models can be powered by diesel, electric or hydro motors.
All our bow thrusters are supplied with type approval certificates from the major classification societies and with the guarantee of service on 365 days a year by our own mechanic teams.
