VOITH

The right propulsion system for every situation

Be the first to review

Be it out at sea or in port, on rivers or lakes – Voith’s customtailored propulsion systems ensure precise, prompt and safe maneuvering. Our propulsion solutions are specifically designed for all maritime tasks and requirements.

Propulsion system technology is key to operate vessels efficiently and with a high degree of safety. Matching the propulsion system to the vessel design is equally important. With more than 90 years of experience, Voith provides Propulsion systems tailored to the application.

The Voith propulsion system portfolio

In addition to the proven Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) with its stepless, precise and prompt generation of thrust in all directions Voith Inline Thrusters (VIT) and Voith Inline Propulsors (VIP) are used as propulsion systems or thrusters. They require neither axles nor shafts or gearing. The Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) combines the best properties of propellers with the best properties of waterjets.

For maximum on-board comfort: propulsion, stabilizing and maneuvering systems for yachts

Comfort on board is one of the most important requirements that owners of yachts demand of their vessels. This also applies to the propulsion and maneuvering systems, which should operate as quietly as possible, for example. However, the electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP) does not only have this property – its unique integrated roll stabilization (VRS) makes life on board even more convenient. Also the propulsion technologies such as Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) or the Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP) are the basis for maximum on-board comfort.

FAQs

Q Yachts with electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP)

The electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP) combines all advantages of the VSP with the electric motor of the Voith Inline Thruster. He achives maximum thrust in all directions – infinitely variable and with maximum precision.

• Require little maintenance due to their low-speed operation and robust design.
• Provide a high degree of comfort for owners, guests and crew.
• Are highly maneuverable and ideally suited for “electronic anchoring”.
• Are environmentally friendly and operate with low noise emissions and minimal energy consumption.

Q Yachts with Voith Linear Jet (VLJ)

Thanks to its constantly high efficiency, the Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) offers an excellent solution especially for ships with a mixed-use profile ranging between slow and fast speeds. Due to its design, the propulsion system is also distinguished by robustness, low noise emissions and ease of maintenance.

• Offer an excellent solution, especially for ferries, thanks to its consistently high efficiency and mixed-use profile ranging between slow and fast speeds.
• Boast a propulsion system characterized by robustness, low noise emissions and ease of maintenance. .

Q Yachts with Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) and Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP)

Exceptionally low noise and fast responsiveness to steering commands – these are the strengths of the Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) and Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP). These propulsion systems offer precise maneuverability and high reliability with minimal space requirements.

• Guarantee a comfortable stay and rest for passengers and crew due to extremely low noise and vibration emissions of the VIT and VIP.
• Provide freedom for newly built and retrofit designs due to high compactness and efficiency of the unit with rim drive technology, without gearbox, shaft and external cooling.
