Basic principle of the channel thruster
The basic principle of the Verhaar Omega channel thruster is actually quite simple but very effective. With the help of a horizontal propeller water is sucked up from underneath the ship.
Once inside the thruster unit, the volume of water is deflected and guided to the channels via a so-called steering drum, which sets the thrust direction. As the drum ...

An OFP transverse thruster is a tunnel thruster with a fixed pitch propeller. In most cases, fixed pitch propellers are used for variable and reversible shaft speeds. OFP transverse thrusters are driven either electrically, hydraulically or by means of a diesel engine.

The thrust direction is controlled by reversing the direction of the drive motor, or – with a diesel engine – ...

In principle, transverse thrusters or tunnel thrusters are used as auxiliary propulsion units. Depending on the design of the vessel, transverse thrusters are either installed in the bow or stern.
