About the Veth Compact Jet

Experience top performance with the Veth Compact Jet, a bow thruster designed for maximum thrust, minimal noise, and efficient propulsion. Its unique 17° angled propeller enhances efficiency and increases thrust, making it ideal for shallow draft applications. Unlike conventional thrusters, it directs water through an integrated channel rather than the vessel’s structure, ensuring exceptionally quiet operation. With flexible mounting options and the ability to serve as emergency propulsion, the Veth Compact Jet is a versatile and reliable solution.

Advantages

Can be used as an emergency propulsion
Minimum noise / vibrations at maximum thrust (flexible suspension)
Maximum thrust at minimum draft
Optimum maneuverability maximum thrust through 360 degrees
Easy to install, no channels required
Suitable for Dynamic Positioning (DP)

Operation

The Veth Compact Jet offers precise thrust control with its rotating directional housing, ensuring maximum maneuverability. Its durable design features minimal external piping, oil bath, and injection lubrication for long-lasting performance.

Equipped as standard with a 4-blade NiAl bronze propeller, the Compact Jet is also available in different configurations with varying blade numbers. Its efficient design draws water at an angle from beneath the vessel, smoothly guiding it through a hydrodynamic housing for optimal propulsion.

The Compact Jet allows for easy inspections, maintenance, or even propeller replacement—often without the need for dry docking. With minimal hose connections, it can be quickly removed via hoist. Ideal as a bow thruster and emergency propulsion, it is widely used in passenger vessels, self-propelled barges, and other marine applications. The Veth Compact Jet is available with diesel or electric drive options, including a vertically mounted electric motor for space-saving installation.
