BOW THRUSTER MAINTENANCE
Planned periodic maintenance is essential to ensure the proper functioning of the Bow Thrusters
Checks to ensure the proper functioning of the bow thrusters:
- Isolation
- Environment humidity
- Bearing check
- Hydraulic oil check
- Electrical system check
- Coupling
When performed according to a maintenance schedule, these operations offer advantages such as:
- Better low speed manoeuvrability of the vessel
- Safety of the vessel during docking in poor weather conditions
- Cost savings due to a reduction in the time spent in ports and decreased use of tugboats
