The hull (2) has a vertical centre plane (CP) extending in a direction from the bow (3) to the stern (4). At each side of the centre plane (CP) the vessel (1) has at least two azimuth thrusters (6) including respective propellers (6a), which azimuth thrusters (6) are located next to each other in transverse direction of the centre plane (CP). Each azimuth thruster (6) is drivably coupled to its own prime mover (7).
