Product Overview
A Direct Mechanical Path to the Waterjet
The direct-drive architecture connects the prime mover to the waterjet through a straightforward mechanical power path. The mixed-flow jet concept is intended for commercial vessels that combine higher transit speeds with frequent passenger or personnel transport duties.
The standard twin arrangement provides two propulsion units and supports balanced installation across the vessel’s stern layout.
Key Advantages
A configuration shaped around the application.
Mixed-Flow Waterjet Concept
The jet architecture is suited to vessels operating across passenger and crew transport profiles.
Twin-System Layout
Two units provide a balanced propulsion configuration for the defined power segment.
Compact Stern Integration
The system is designed to support practical packaging within fast commercial vessel layouts.
Typical Applications
Defined around real vessel profiles.
Fast Passenger Boats
Propulsion for scheduled routes where transit time and repeat operation are important.
Compact Sea Buses
Suitable for small ferry and urban or coastal passenger transport applications.
Large Crew Boats
Twin propulsion for commercial vessels carrying personnel over longer service routes.
High-Speed Service Craft
Applicable to commercial workboats that require regular, efficient transit between operating locations.
Configuration and Selection
Final sizing begins with vessel data.
Product selection should consider vessel displacement, target speed, duty cycle, hull geometry and prime-mover characteristics. Final waterjet sizing and installation interfaces are defined according to the vessel project.
