Apparatus and computer-implemented method for optimizing marine vessel thrust allocation for a plurality of thruster units, the method comprising: receiving marine vessel characteristics and thruster unit location information; determining performance profile in view of different azimuth degrees for each thruster unit based on the marine vessel characteristics and thruster unit location information, wherein the performance profile comprises thruster restriction zone information; receiving environmental information; generating a hydrodynamic thrust model by combining performance profiles of active thruster units and the environmental information; and determining thrust vector information for each active thruster unit based on the hydrodynamic thrust model.
