Bow thrusters, rudders, and in port, harbor tugs since they can not get up enough speed to make their relatively small rudders effective.

There is a rudder mounted at the stern (back of the boat) that looks like a vertical airplane wing and this is moved or turned and makes the ship move left or right.
Larger ships have two to four screws (propellers) that move the ship forward and can also be reversed and or one side driven forward and the other reversed to turn the ship.
Good Luck!

The rudder, which is on the back of the ship in the water. In some ships, the propeller mechanism itself can be rotated in order to steer a ship

A ship turns using a rudder. and can make tighter turns if using bough thrusters.The thrusters are used in docking and undocking, they push the bough in the direction the captain wonts it to go. At sea just the rudder is used.

usually, a boat or a ship uses its rudder to turn, so that the speed of water on one side of the ship increases and that on the other side decreases, causing the ship to turn.
