Wärtsilä, has introduced a new series of midsized axial pump waterjets aimed at the high speed ferry, high speed patrol craft, and customized yachting markets, the series can handle shaft powers up to 4,500 kW. A key design target for the new series is high performance throughout the life of the propulsion system.
