The difference between our bow thruster and others is a matter of degrees. 360°. Maneuver without delay and without extra cost—with the White Gill Unit. It's the only hydraulic jet bow thruster that turns a full 360°- without projecting below the hull. With White Gill Units, you can turn a vessel in its own length. Position it broadside. Nego- tiate congested docks and tight berths. Counter- act strong cross currents. Even provide main propulsion. It's like taking your tugs with you. The White Gill Unit is especially de- signed to prevent fouling. And because the inlet is located down at the keel, it always stays under water—even in rough weather. Hundreds of White Gill Units—original equipment and retrofits—are saving time and money on tankers, tugs, oil rig service vessels, barges, research ships, salvage vessels, cable ships, and ferries throughout the world. White Gill Units are built in the United States and in the United Kingdom by Elliott, a world leader in turbomachinery. Get the greatest degree of control you can: 360° control. Get the White Gill Unit. For full infor- mation, call (412) 527-2811 or write us for a copy of our new White Gill bulletin #Q57.
