Thrustmaster’s portable dynamic positioning system allows for an affordable and quick dock-side conversion of any vessel to DP-0 thru DP-3 per any of the major classification societies. PDPS can be mounted directly onto the deck or onto platforms attached to the side of the vessel.

Thrustmaster's Axial flow waterjets from 100kW to 6,400 kW available in 15 model sizes to accommodate vessels from 6m to +60m with stainless steel jets supported by electronic controls.

Thrustmaster is a leading designer and manufacturer of waterjet propulsion systems focused on offering high-quality waterjet products that excel in the harsh operating conditions of the commercial and military marine market.

Thrustmaster Waterjets are specified by the most demanding operators throughout the world and we are dedicated to providing you with the best possible waterjet solutions for your vessel.

Thrustmaster's tunnel thrusters are best equipped to perform docking, slow speed maneuvering, emergency steering and station keeping at zero or slow forward speed. In order to meet the numerous demands of the many vessel types used around the world Thrustmaster engineers design tunnel thrusters of aluminum or steel, and, with options regarding the kind of input power (prime movers) needed by the customer.
Thrustmaster's propulsion outdrive units are self-contained thruster packages for main propulsion and positioning of barges, platforms and river craft. Conversion from a simple barge or unpowered vessel can be done in as little as a few hours to less than a week without modifying the hull. The hydraulic drive is especially suited for shallow, brown water applications where debris in the water or shallow bottoms can be a problem.
Thrustmaster’s Portable River Ferry is a turn-key modular package comprised of interlocking barge sections with ramps on both ends, self-contained hydraulic outboard propulsion units, a raised pilot house, and all necessary accessories. Thrustmaster’s Portable River Ferry can be rapidly deployed in remote locations to form a double-ended ferry for crossing rivers with fully loaded trucks, trailers, lorries, combines and other heavy machinery.
