EPS™ SIDE TUNNEL THRUSTER: THE SOUND OF SILENCE

The EPS™ Side Tunnel thruster is the perfect substitute for traditional stern and bow thrusters. It has a revolutionary construction without gear and propeller shaft: The blades are connected to an outer ring rather than a hub. With no clearance between propeller and tube, you are ensured an exceptionally quiet and comfortable operation.

As the electromotor driving the thrusters is integrated within the outer ring, the EPS™ has an ultra compact design and takes up very little space. Use of sophisticated bearings and high-tech materials further enhance reliability and low weight.

The Side Tunnel thruster also offers an equally powerful thrust on both sides of the vessel. Complete steering power and precise manoeuvrability is the result.
