COMMERCIAL WATERJET PROPULSION

PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY FOR COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

WaveCraft, developed by Umoe Mandal, is an advanced commercial vessel utilising Marine Jet Power waterjet propulsion to deliver high speed, stability and control for crew transfer operations and offshore support. The platform combines efficient hull design with waterjet

WaveCraft by Umoe Mandal was designed to fulfil commercial requirements for safe, efficient and high-speed crew transfer and support operations in coastal and offshore environments. Operators in sectors such as ferry services, offshore energy, crew logistics and commercial support demand vessels with responsive propulsion, excellent sea handling and reliable uptime. Waterjet propulsion offers shallow draft access, manoeuvrability and reduced risk of entanglement compared to conventional propellers, making it ideal for workboat tasks.

Marine Jet Power supplied waterjet propulsion for the WaveCraft platform, optimising the vessel’s hull and powertrain integration for robust commercial performance. Waterjet units provide rapid acceleration, precise handling and consistent thrust delivery across a range of speeds — crucial when operating crew transfers or support services in busy offshore and nearshore settings.

TAILORED WATERJET PROPULSION FOR COMMERCIAL PERFORMANCE

Key elements of the solution include:

• High thrust delivery for efficient transit
• Enhanced manoeuvrability in close quarters
• Reduced draft enabling access to shallow locations
• Smooth handling in varying sea states
• Durable construction suited to commercial duty cycles
  The combination of waterjet performance and WaveCraft’s design enables operators to deliver reliable service with reduced downtime and operational risk.

RELIABLE SUPPORT AND ENHANCED COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

The integration of MJP waterjet propulsion into the WaveCraft ensures:

• Quick, reliable transit for crew transfer missions
• Stable performance for offshore and coastal support
• Better access to shallow or constrained waterways
• Reduced maintenance requirements compared with traditional systems
• Enhanced operator confidence in day-to-day operations
  Together, these benefits make WaveCraft a compelling choice for organisations seeking dependable, high-speed commercial waterjet propulsion.

MJP 650 CSU WATERJETS FOR RELIABLE HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE

MJP 650 CSU waterjets provide high efficiency and reliable thrust across a wide operating range, making them well suited for fast commercial craft like WaveCraft. The mixed-flow design delivers strong acceleration and stable performance at service speeds, supporting efficient crew transfer and coastal transport operations. Precise steering and reversing control enable safe maneuvering in tight harbors and offshore environments. With minimal underwater appendages and robust construction, the CSU 650 also supports shallow-water access and long service life in demanding commercial duty cycles.
