Abstract

Disclosed is a method for handling and steering vessels and the apparatus for carrying out the method. The invention relates to vessels (110) having fixed shaft propulsion systems and particularly to those vessels (110) in which the propeller (114) is positioned within a tunnel beneath the vessel (110). The improvements in the steering and handling of such a vessel (110) are realized by inclusion of a bow propulsion system (118,130) which is integral with and whose operation is coordination with that of the main propulsion system.
