The Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) provides a substantially higher bollard pull without a requirement for increased installed power and allows the safe transfer of personnel up to higher sea states. The VLJ, a new ship propulsor, gives Naval Architects new ways to optimize vessel designs. Employing the simplicity and efficiency of a conventional propeller installation, it delivers the possi- bility to design for 40 knot speeds without the shaking ofan extreme power-dense propeller. www.voithturbo.com SIRPA Gendarmerie/F.
