Waterjets "first choice" for wind farm boats

Ultra Dynamics,engineers and manufacturer of the UltraJet range of waterjets , says waterjets are currently the first choice of propulsion for wind farm workboats, the reason being increased manoeuvrability and the ability to hold station while work is being carried out. A key requirement when servicing offshore wind farms, especially in very rough sea conditions.

Waterjets can also be serviced quickly and easily often without dry-docking the boat, which means less engineering down time and cost savings to the end customer. An important issue when a vessel is operating in an area where there are no facilities to undertake extensive repair work.
