Passenger Ferries
VEEM supplies many of the world's leading Ferry builders, providing both product and engineering design solutions. Propellers, shaft lines, ride control and water jets are all available as part of a package. A package solution from VEEM ensures component compatibility, accurate assembly and operational simplicity. We can supply shaft line components to suit any vessel size, giving ferry builders a one stop shop for propulsion systems.
Complete, simple, and cost effective solutions are the primary requirement of ferry builders, VEEM products excel in these three areas. Our propulsion expertise ensures that the propulsion system adds value to the vessel through reliable performance and smooth operation. VEEM products are made at one site under a stringent quality control system.
Propellers for this market require customised designs to ensure maximum performance. Base propeller designs suitable to conventional ferry applications include the VEEMStar and VEEMStar-C. These designs operate successfully on ferries constructed by prominent builders around the world. VEEM also offer complete propulsion systems for water jet applications. We have extensive experience in the design and manufacture of innovative and unconventional propulsion solutions.
VEEM uses cutting edge technology in the design and selection of propellers. This includes noise and vibration prediction, propulsive efficiency optimisation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (C.F.D.) software and cavitation tunnel testing, followed by blade strength calculation using Finite Element Analysis (F.E.A.) software. A cost effective package is developed using these technologies, applying our experience, and streamlining the design process.
