A bow thruster is a Thruster built into the Bow of a Ship to enhance its maneuverability. Usually, a bow thruster is just a tunnel below the waterline through the bow. An Impeller in the tunnel can create thrust to both ways which makes the ship turn. Ships equipped with bow thrusters have a sign above the waterline over each thruster on both sides. This sign symbolizes the thruster with a big white cross in a white circle. Bow thrusters make docking a ship easier, since they can turn the ship even if it's not moving and in some cases allow a ship to dock without the otherwise required assistance of Tugboat s, saving the costs of such service.
