🔍 Key Concepts

• Tunnel thruster location and direction of thrust on the hull • Relationship between thruster effectiveness and ship speed/water flow past the hull • Difference between maneuvering control and overall propulsive power

💭 Think About

• At what ship speeds is side‑force from a transverse thruster most effective and safe to use? • Does a transverse thruster mainly help you change heading/position, or does it significantly add to forward/reverse propulsion? • If a ship is already making high speed ahead, how effective is a sideways‑pointing tunnel likely to be in comparison to when the vessel is nearly stopped?

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify in your mind whether a transverse thruster is designed to push the ship sideways or ahead/astern. • Consider how water flows through a bow or stern tunnel when the ship is moving very slowly vs. very fast. • Check which option describes a sideways maneuvering benefit, not an increase in main propulsive thrust.
