The Amazing Heliconic "HCT" Omnithruster

The result of 20 years of continuous development of the proven be driven by diesel, hydraulic or electric power sources. The HCT

Omnithruster water jet thrusters. More compact, more efficient and very Omnithruster is available in sizes ransins from 7 to 450 kw (10 to 600 HP) cost effective. The HCT Omnithruster is rugsed, energy efficient, and can and can be rated for continuous duty service. • Highly effective thrust, exceeds other jet thrusters. • Can thrust effectively in currents or at vessel speeds up to 8 knots, or more. • Optional slow speed 360° propulsion provides "take-home" capability, station keeping and augmented steering. • Very small side hull opening compared to conventional thrusters, about one- tenth the area, which reduces drag: saves fuel. • Vertical configuration can provide thrust with nozzles out of the water with intake submerged; works when pitching or in light draft. • Competitively priced, less costly to install, easy retrofits. • With simpler controls and less moving parts, the HCT is more reliable and more effective than CP thrusters. • Practically clog free from ships lines, floating debris, or ice. • Environmentally safe, no submerged gear box. Uses water lubed bearings. • Completely maintainable and serviceable without haul out

Omnithruster builds jet thrusters up to 2500HP. Installations worldwide.
