HERMES I
New Propulsion System Installation on Passenger Ferry HERMES I
Xanthis is proud to announce the successful installation of an advanced propulsion system on Passenger Ferry HERMES I (Ex-MOYSALEN), enhancing its maneuverability, operational efficiency, and overall performance at sea.
The project featured the integration of 2x VZ550 Veth Propulsion Azimuth Thrusters by Twin Disc, powered by 2x Baudouin 6M33.2 marine propulsion engines. This combination delivers reliable marine performance, optimized control, and energy-efficient operation under demanding maritime conditions.
This upgrade represents a significant milestone in marine propulsion system optimization, ensuring:
- Enhanced vessel control and precise handling in tight ports and open waters.
- Fuel-efficient operation, reducing operational costs and environmental footprint.
- Operational versatility for diverse passenger ferry missions.
As part of our marine engineering projects portfolio, the HERMES I installation underscores Xanthis’ expertise in supplying high-performance marine engines and integrated propulsion solutions.
