- Shallow Draft Thrusters

The effects of climate change have led to a significant decline in water levels for many rivers worldwide in recent years. As a result, the ability to operate in shallow waters has become increasingly crucial.

Shallower waters can impact propeller efficiency and raise the risk of damage from debris and silt. To address this challenge, Veth Propulsion has developed specialized propulsion and steering technology for shallow-draft ships, enabling operations in water depths sometimes even less than 2 meters.

Enclosed Propulsion Design

Veth designed its propulsion system to be enclosed within the ship’s hull, rather than hanging freely below it. The caps, equipped with integrated thrusters, allow for a maximum propeller diameter, resulting in efficient propulsion and reduced power consumption. At the low design draft, these caps prevent air suction in the propellers, ensuring no loss of thrust and power. As a result, the ship can navigate extreme shallow water conditions with an optimal, undisturbed flow to the propellers.

Enhanced Manoeuvrability

Unlike standard solutions, Veth’s system guarantees full manoeuvrability and stopping capabilities. This assurance holds true both at the low design draft and in shallow waters. The innovative design ensures reliable performance even in challenging maritime environments.
