Bow Steering Module info required
« on: June 18, 2026, 02:51:18 pm »
Hi all! I recently came across a pic of a pusher tug described as a 'Bow Steering Module', which is powered by two Voith Schneider Propulsion units. While I've managed to find a few more photos on the web of this particular vessel (known only as the ITS 100), there doesn't seem to be much else available. Does anyone perhaps know where I could obtain further info and possibly a basic plan thereof? I'm tentatively looking into making a model based on this tug using the two Graupner VSP units that I've had in my possession for many years (the original ones that they made for their Thyssen II tug). I'll attach the image that I screen-grabbed off the Voith website for reference. Thanks in anticipation!

Hi Glyn,
An old example is the "Woolwich Ferry" which crosses the River Thames https://russellboyce.com/woolwichferry.html
Good Luck :-))

Here is an AI hallucination based on photographs, and a diagram from Edison Chouest.  %)
