The invention discloses a swing type lateral thruster for ships. The lateral thruster comprises a lateral thrust frame, a connecting rod, a bracket and an air cylinder, wherein a propeller is mounted in the lateral thrust frame; the outer part of the lateral thrust frame is connected with one end of the connecting rod; the other end of the connecting rod is connected with an air cylinder rod of the air cylinder through a connecting plate; the middle part of the connecting rod is movably connected to the top of the bracket; the propeller is controlled by the air cylinder, and swings left and right around a connected position of the bracket and the connecting rod. By adopting the above method, the leftward and rightward swing of the propeller in use can be controlled through the extension and retraction of the air cylinder, so that the flexibility of the lateral thruster is improved; therefore, a ship is convenient to dock.
