The Bow And Stern Thrusters Market comprises propulsion systems installed on the bow or stern of marine vessels for maneuvering. Bow thrusters aid in maneuvering the bow of ships while stern thrusters help rotate the stern. They help reduce vessel space requirements for turning and assist in station keeping operations.

Bow thrusters provide better directional control during berthing and departure in heavy seas or strong currents. Stern thrusters help improve course-keeping ability and are often used by offshore support and marine construction vessels.

The Global Bow And Stern Thrusters Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 477.33 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
