The world's top shipbuilders turn to New Zealand for waterjets

With waterjets the preferred propulsion system for new age fast ferries, work and patrol boats, commercial influences demand reliability and engineering excellence. That's why more and more shipbuilders are turning to New Zealand, the home of Hamilton Jet.

For Japan, a nation leading the way in advanced technology and quality assurance techniques, the only choice when it came to selecting the propulsion system for a new ferry was Hamilton Jet. A 33 metre, 35 knot passenger ferry built by Goriki Shipyard, "Nyenufabushi" was commissioned to carry passengers quickly between offshore islands. Crucial design factors were high speed, reliability, passenger comfort and outstanding manoeuvrability. Construction had to be certified to NKK standards. All these were met using the advanced technology and innovative features found only in Hamilton waterjets, adding "Goriki Shipyard" to an impressive and ever growing reference list of satisfied customers worldwide.

Hamilton Jet has built its reputation on providing the best marine jet propulsion systems anywhere in the world. That's why designers from the most technically advanced nations recognise New Zealand quality and expertise and have confidence in specifying Hamilton Jet.
