THE WATERJET REIMAGINED Technology inspired by Mother Nature Waterjets have always been the most efficient choice for going fast across the water. The absence of hull-appendages and our highly optimised pump geometry have allowed HamiltonJet customers to save fuel for generations. But not everyone wants to go fast. Setting our sights on producing the most efficient propulsion system on the market for low to medium speed applications, we looked to Mother Nature for inspiration. Travelling using a low-velocity jet of water, the moon jellyfish expends far less energy than any other swimming...

A NEW DIRECTION The climate is changing and so are the priorities of our customers. Operators want to reduce their impact on the environment and lower their energy costs, while also maximising efficiency. Some will achieve this by operating at lower speeds, while others are turning to electrification of the driveline rather than continue relying on fossil fuels. Whether operators are seeking to optimise their entire enterprise or simply gain incremental benefits in manoeuvring, loitering, and transit, the efficiency of propulsion is key. High Efficiency High Bollard Pull Performance...

DURABILITY Our products work as hard as the vessels they power. Corrosion Resistant Low-wear Steering Improved Hydraulic Sealing Through careful material selection, refined anode layout and optimised coating systems, we have achieved up to 10x greater corrosion resistance in challenging brackish waters. Across the range, LTX waterjets all feature new and improved steering systems. They deliver high precision, minimise performance loss in turns and deliver lower loads at the helm. Optimised seal pack design prevents contamination, damage from the marine environment and has been proven to...

INSTALLATION LTX features an ultracompact inboard footprint, narrow jet-spacing, lowprofile and lightweight design. Waterjet Installation Powertrain Compatibility Electronic Controls The compact size of the entire LTX series means all models are capable of being installed late in the build, reducing overall vessel installation costs. HamiltonJet has considered electric and hybrid drive from the outset. The jets are compatible with all the major electric motor manufacturers. In addition, the LTX is compatible with a diverse range of diesel engines from global manufacturers. Our wide range of...

Direct Drive Smaller models, such as the LTX36, can be direct driven by electric motors or diesel engines. This reduces cost, weight, and improves efficiency. Improved hydraulic sealing Prevents contamination damage and extends seal pack life. Improved steering systems More precise manoeuvring, minimised performance loss in turns and lower loads at the helm. Our newly optimised mixed flow design increases low to medium speed efficiency for speeds of up to 30 knots. This delivers greater bollard pull for better position holding capability, manoeuvrability and acceleration. Refined anode...

CASE STUDY Ferry EV Maritime Low Wash Electric Ferry EV Maritime’s 25-knot low wash, quiet electric ferry is a carbon fibre build, designed for modern, smart city commuting. It runs on battery electric for short journeys with fast shore-charging capabilities and is built with quad LTX36 jets and controls from HamiltonJet. The EVM200-commuter, set to be launched in 2024, is the workhorse of a rapid transit commuter ferry network. It is engineered to move many people quickly and safely in a modern, friendly, comfortable environment. VESSEL SPECIFICATIONS Service: Electric Ferries Location:...

CASE STUDY Ferry Green City Ferries, Electric Ferry This 24m zero-emissions commuter fast ferry, with hydrofoil technology, runs on batteries or hydrogen and is being specifically designed and built for commuters on urban waterways. Scheduled to hit the water in 2024, the Beluga24 is the most energy efficient and technically advanced ferry of its type. It comes with two emission-free options: battery electric for short journeys; hydrogen fuel cell for long journeys. This vessel is using the latest LTX36 jet and controls design from HamiltonJet.
