Introducing the LTX waterjet. It is low-speed efficient, lightweight, and lean. With its large nozzle, lower input energy, lower jet velocity, and lightweight structure, it emulates its natural cousin. LTX is the first waterjet to rival the performance, energy efficiency and bollard pull of the very best propeller systems at low to medium speeds (0-30 knots).
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.
PERFORMANCE
HIGH PERFORMANCE
The LTX series is supremely efficient in low to medium-speed applications from 0-30 knots. Its compact design means a jet with a larger diameter can be fitted in narrow hulls while lower-input power capability allows it to remain lightweight and run at a lower cost.
HIGH BOLLARD PULL PERFORMANCE
LTX jets deliver up to 40% more bollard pull and greater sway thrust than any other waterjets on the market. This best-in-class bollard pull improves manoeuvring response, position holding capability and vessel acceleration.
UNPARALLELED MANOEUVRABILITY
All HamiltonJet waterjets utilise low-loss steering systems which save fuel when course keeping and minimise speed loss during tighter turns.
