From propeller pioneers to

Propulsion by KaMeWa

Swedish-born inventor John Ericsson pioneered the practical application of the propeller. Following in his footsteps, KaMeWa then pioneered the development of the high-tech propulsion systems of today.

Whatever your priorities - speed, good manoeuvrability, high comfort, stealth properties, fuel economy, reliability, quality or world-wide availability of service - KaMeWa propulsion systems have more to offer.

Propulsion by KaMeWa includes high-skew propellers of controllable pitch and fixed pitch designs, thrusters, water-jet units and the electronic controls that make the individual building blocks into an efficient propulsion system. So whatever your propulsion needs, KaMeWa has more to offer.

KaMeWa's Marine Laboratory provides unique facilities for comprehensive development work, as demonstrated by the selection of model propellers shown here. *John Ericsson (1803-1889) led the practical development of the propeller and is regarded as its true originator. During the North American Civil War, he designed the Union ironclad 'Monitor' that emerged victorious from a battle with the Confederate 'Merrimack' on 9 March 1862.
