Interestingly, the term 'thruster device "is also called electromechanical systems, with the function or type of autopilot autopilot, ensuring the continued direction of the ship, for example, strictly on the wind. Given the fact that the tunnel IP permit control the yaw caused by the wind on the nose of the vessel, to determine the precise meaning of the term is problematic.
