With its drive technologies such as the Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP), Voith Turbo plays a leading role in the marine industry. Developed almost 100 years ago, the VSP is a ship propulsion system that enables high maneuverability and effciency thanks to its special design. It is used also in yachts that require precise dynamic positioning and fast course changes. With the electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP), Voith
has succeeded in transforming a proven drive concept with all its advantages and outstanding properties into an electric and therefore low-CO2 drive solution with even better noise characteristics. This has already proven itself in a wide variety of applications.
The Voith portfolio is complemented by the Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) and the Voith Linear Jet (VLJ).
The VLJ demonstrates its advantages in terms of extremely low noise and vibration emissions.
The VIT is frequently used as a transverse thruster in yachts. As a maneuvering aid and
for easy dynamic positioning, it can also be used as a swing-out and rotating auxiliary drive (Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP)).

Innovative all-electric main drive with a historic heritage
Precise, efficient and quiet – the electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP) is the sustainable evolution of the proven Voith Schneider Propeller. It heralds a new era of innovative and environmentally friendly marine propulsion systems. Of course, this also applies to use in yachts.
The eVSP not only provides precise control and exceptional maneuverability, but extremely reliable and economical operation as well. In addition, it offers highest comfort for guests and crew due to its integrated active roll stabilization. Even in rough seas a smooth and comfortable stay on board is ensured.
Thanks to its unique design, the eVSP also enables high-precision dynamic positioning, reduces fuel consumption and minimizes underwater noise. As one of the first steerable marine propulsion systems on the market, it meets the demanding DNV Silent-R and ICES209 standards – and thus makes an important contribution to the protection of marine fauna by significantly reducing background noise pollution for marine life.
