Waterjets are in a class of their own because of their versatile operating characteristics, which permit easy and accurate control of the craft at all speeds and in waters too shallow for vessels with conventional propulsion systems.
At high speeds, the unrivalled efficiency of Kamewa waterjet propulsion offers either a greater top speed or better fuel economy. No reversing gearbox is required, stopping distances are short and craft can turn on the spot or even manoeuvre sideways.
