LANDING CRAFT
WATERJETS FOR LANDING CRAFT
MARINE PROPULSION FOR MODERN LANDING CRAFT
From beach landings to near-shore logistics, landing craft operate in some of the most demanding marine environments. At Marine Jet Power, we deliver waterjet propulsion systems designed for shallow draft performance, rapid maneuverability, and operational resilience.
Our waterjets are built to endure harsh coastal conditions, with corrosion-resistant materials and proven engineering that ensures uptime when it matters most. With exceptional thrust, precise steering, and unmatched reversing capabilities, our systems allow for fast loading, unloading, and extraction – even in unpredictable surf zones.
Whether supporting military amphibious missions or commercial transport operations, MJP waterjets are trusted worldwide for their power, durability, and flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT PROPULSION SYSTEM IS BEST FOR LANDING CRAFT?
Waterjets are ideal for landing craft thanks to their high thrust, shallow-draft capability and strong maneuverability. They provide reliable acceleration with heavy loads and enable safe beach landings without exposed propellers. MJP helps you identify the right system based on vessel size, payload and operational profile.
CAN WATERJETS OPERATE IN VERY SHALLOW WATERS?
Yes. Waterjets draw significantly less water than propeller systems, making them optimal for shallow-water operations and coastal transport. Their enclosed design prevents damage from debris or seabed contact, ensuring safe access to beaches, ramps and unprepared shorelines.
HOW DO WATERJETS PERFORM DURING BEACH LANDINGS?
Waterjets allow smooth, controlled beach approaches without risk of propeller strikes. Because the jet intake is flush with the hull, landing craft can safely run aground, unload cargo and reverse off the beach with maximum control. This makes them the preferred choice for commercial and military landing operations.
ARE WATERJETS EFFICIENT FOR HEAVY LOADS AND CARGO TRANSPORT?
Yes. MJP’s waterjets generate strong bollard pull and consistent thrust even under heavy loading. This improves push capability, reduces strain on the vessel and supports efficient transport of equipment, vehicles and materials. The result is dependable performance across demanding duty cycles.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT WATERJET FOR MY LANDING CRAFT?
The ideal waterjet depends on vessel dimensions, displacement, load profile and required speed. MJP provides engineering guidance for both new builds and retrofits, ensuring optimal performance and lifecycle cost. You can also use our Jet Selector Tool to narrow down suitable models.
