Bowthrusters are an excellent choice for any vessel as it allows the positive control of a boat even at low speed and regardless of wind, current or tight docking conditions.

VETUS N.V. has been manufacturing Bowthrusters for many years and is one of the World's leaders in electric and hydraulic thrust propulsion.

VETUS has now introduced a 6 Blade Propeller for its range of Bowthrusters which creates little or no cavitation. This is due to the propellers unique blade profile which offers a major reduction in the operating sound levels for VETUS Bowthrusters.

Working in close collaboration with the Maritime Institute Netherlands , the world famous hydrodynamic laboratory, the new 6 Blade Propeller has also proven to reduce the current consumption by up to 10%.

VETUS Bowthrusters are also equipped with bronze tail pieces for strength and durability and metal underwater parts are protected with a zinc anode as standard. Owing to their light weight, the maximum thrust force in a VETUS Bowthruster is obtained very quickly and with a minimum amount of energy.
