Yes, installing a traditional tunnel style bow thruster is costly as the tunnel install is labour intensive glass work. Depending on the model and type, mechanical installation can be labour intensive and costly as well. Many will say it's worth it though. Gives you a real sense of security on a windy day, and getting into tight quarters.

Re: One of those dockings
Now I don’t worry about the wind nearly as much.
It’s a sideshift same as the link above.
