This spare blade can be retrofitted to 25kgf bow thrusters.
Working in close collaboration with teh Maritime Institue Netherlands (MARIN), the world-famous hydrodynamic laboratory, Vetus has optimised the performance of its thrusters. This has been achieved by utilising a unique propeller blade profile, which creates little or no cavitation. As cavitation produces unwanted noise, this new blade design offers a major reduction in the operating sound levels for Vetus bow thrusters. Moreover, the application of this new propeller has reduced the current consumption by up to 10%.
