Cover for bow thruster tunnel

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Engineered for better efficiency

Optimize hull design and reduce hydrodynamic interference is a key area of development for ship energy efficiency. The bow thruster shutters designed by Fouré Lagadec Marine are adapted to each ship’s shape and characteristics. When closed, they create a streamlined and smooth hull surface. And since they are connected to the thrusters and completely automated, they require no action or input from the crew.

Key features

  1. Energy savings: equipment adapted to each vessel's shape and characteristics.

  2. Automation: thruster-related system and fully automated.

  3. Hydraulic actuators: set in motion by hydraulic actuators.

System architecture

Bow tunnel shutters are systems tailored to each vessel.
