WESMAR Bow Thruster Fitted in Turkish Research Vessel

Woodinville, WA - based WESMAR informs that its V2-12 commercial bow thruster, is part of the propulsion equipment on the 60-foot Turkish Research Vessel 'BELUGA', doing deep water research in areas around the Bosporus Straits, the Sea of Marmara, along the west coast of Turkey and in the South Mediterranean Sea between Turkey and Cyprus.

The vessel is owned by Derinsu Underwater Engineering Company of Turkey and is being used for deep water research assignments related to gas and electric pipe and cable line installations.
 
Ocean underwater engineer for the company, Mr. Kemal Ozyurt says: “The WESMAR thruster has exceeded my expectations and I am very thankful to WESMAR and Ezberci Marine, WESMAR’s dealer in Turkey, who installed the thruster along with an electro-hydraulic power pack, to accommodate the vessel’s limited space and limited power source caused by the extensive research equipment on board. My Ozyurt said the thruster is in continuous use during search operations.
