In an increasingly expensive market for workboats, any advantage that can be leveraged to save time, money, fuel and deck space on the job is a precious commodity. One way to do just that, perhaps taking a page from the U.S. Coast Guard?s playbook, is to consolidate multiple missions onto fewer vessels. And, the gold standard in equipment to make that happen may well be packaged in NAMJet?s advanced marine propulsion systems. For more than 25 years, NAM- Jet products have provided thrust, durability, and speed for a wide variety of commercial, military and workboat ap- plications. A common misconception among industry professionals is that thrust and speed must be sacri ced to move heavier loads, a notion disproven by TRAKTOR Jet?s high-thrust, large-displacement systems. The NAMJet TRAKTOR Jet line of high-thrust marine jets is designed to withstand brutal workboat conditions while remaining fully customizable to meet the standards of the world?s most demanding operators, in vastly diverse markets and conditions. This month, we outline the output of two Norwegian builders, why they chose the NAMJet solution and how that is important. Neither  rm is af liated with the other, but it is no secret that Norway?s oil & gas com- munity loves marine jets. The region?s large, untapped off- shore oil and gas resources cry out for a workboat solution that provides both great thrust and Bollard pull attributes that make them perfect for the Norwegian environment.
