Tees White Gill Thrusters provide full continuous thrust through 360 degrees to move a vessel in any desired direction, independently of ship speed.  The bow or stern thrusters can be used as a completely independent means of propulsion and can be powered by any engine or electric motor of the required capacity.

All units are manufactured to the Survey Society standard and we can liase with third parties as required (e.g. ABS Lloyds). The units consist of an axial flow pump mounted within the hull with only two moving elements - a bronze pump rotor and a cast rotatable vaned discharged deflector.  This proven design ensures long life, trouble free operation and ease of maintenance.

Rugged construction and dependable, trouble free operation make the Tees White Gill Thruster ideally suited for all types of ocean going and coastal vessels, harbour craft and river boats.

Ownership of the White Gill Thruster product line was recently transferred to Tees Components Limited from Elliott Turbomachinery Limited.  Tees Components has been manufacturing White Gill Thruster units for over twenty years and during that time has established a production team with considerable expertise in both manufacturing and site maintenance.  This team is complemented by the transfer from Elliotts of Frank Kinchington who, with thirty-five years' experience in the design, commissioning and maintenance of White Gill thrusters, takes up position as our Technical Manager.
