This invention relates to thrusters for lateral propulsion of waterborne vessels. The thruster of the present invention is to be laterally mounted through the hull of the vessel and has propulsive ducts (7,8) for opening to respective sides of the vessel and an inlet (9,10) to the inboard end of both of the ducts, the inlet being at least partially provided by a tunnel (1) having an internal cross-sectional area greater than that of the ducts, the tunnel (1) at least partially surrounding each of the ducts (7,8) and opening to each side of the vessel. <IMAGE> |
