E. Shaprut To Head Voith Schneider America

The Marine Division of J.M.

Voith GmbH recently elected E.

Shaprut to head their Voith Schneider America branch. The establishment of this branch is designed to further enhance and improve direct services to the American market.

Mr. Shaprut is a graduate naval architect and marine engineer from the shipbuilding faculty of the Technical University of Vienna, with an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering. He is also a graduate of the Marine Academy, with seven years' sea time as deck officer and a license of first mate. His experience includes the development and construction of fiberglass craft, engineering, construction, construction supervision, contract management, operation, marketing, and service for VLCCs, LNG/ LPG tankers, terminals, and diesel engines. He is a member of SNAME, ASME and The Propeller Club of the United States.

Mr. Shaprut believes that the Voith Schneider Propulsion system can contribute to the improvement of safety in harbors and waterways throughout the USA. The VSP enables a vessel to make precise and quick collision- preventing maneuvers under adverse conditions, and to exercise soft steepless berthing. The VSP tractor is a simple, safe and efficient tug, able to steer and stop a large vessel in distress with a greatly reduced risk of capsizing. Mr. Shaprut feels this increased safety factor can contribute to the prevention of accidents and resulting problems such as pollution, etc.
