Install Bow Thruster to Inland Cargo Vessels later - POSSIBLE??
(OP)
Dear Experts,
I am very new to this field. I have a query. One of my clients wants to purchase some small inland cargo vessels of the following specifications. I found a number of vessels, but they did not have Bow thrusters. My question is, Is it possible to install one on these old vessels, even an external one? If yes, which companies and what specification/power should I look for. I am sorry, I may sound like a total idiot to many experts here, but I would like to learn. Thank you so much.
One of our clients is looking for 3 (three) refurbished/second hand small inland container feeder vessels of the following specification or similar for immediate purchase:
1. Length must be less than 83 M
2. Width must be less than 15 M
3. Full load draft must be less than 5.5 M
4. Air draft restriction 16 M (vessel has to cross under a bridge,) max height water level to bridge 16 M
5. Container carrying capacity must be 130 TEU++
6. Vessel must be built under International Classification society (CCS, GL, BV, ClassNK etc…..)
7. Should have bow thruster
8. Year of built must not be older than 1995
9. 2000+ DWT
Sincerely,
MS Husain

i expect you will get problems with class. This will not be a cheap trick. I would contact one or more of the big players in this area. ZF-Marine is one I know well, but there are others.

This type of thruster may do what you are looking for without too much modification of the vessel.
