When manoeuvring a boat, which has nearly come to a standstill, the required control of the movements of the boat, especially those of the bow, is extremely difficult to achieve. In such cases, a bow thruster is the solution of the problem. Even when the boat lies dead in the water, complete control of the movements of the ship's bow will be ensured by operating the bow thruster.
