For maximum on-board comfort: propulsion, stabilizing and maneuvering systems for yachts
Comfort on board is one of the most important requirements that owners of yachts demand of their vessels. This also applies to the propulsion and maneuvering systems, which should operate as quietly as possible, for example. However, the electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP) does not only have this property – its unique integrated roll stabilization (VRS) makes life on board even more convenient. Also the propulsion technologies such as Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) or the Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP) are the basis for maximum on-board comfort.
The electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP) combines all advantages of the VSP with the electric motor of the Voith Inline Thruster. He achives maximum thrust in all directions – infinitely variable and with maximum precision.
Provide a high degree of comfort for owners, guests and crew.
Are highly maneuverable and ideally suited for “electronic anchoring”.
Are environmentally friendly and operate with low noise emissions and minimal energy consumption.
Require little maintenance due to their low-speed operation and robust design.
Thanks to its constantly high efficiency, the Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) offers an excellent solution especially for ships with a mixed-use profile ranging between slow and fast speeds. Due to its design, the propulsion system is also distinguished by robustness, low noise emissions and ease of maintenance.
Offer an excellent solution, especially for ferries, thanks to its consistently high efficiency and mixed-use profile ranging between slow and fast speeds.
Boast a propulsion system characterized by robustness, low noise emissions and ease of maintenance. .
Exceptionally low noise and fast responsiveness to steering commands – these are the strengths of the Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) and Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP). These propulsion systems offer precise maneuverability and high reliability with minimal space requirements.
Guarantee a comfortable stay and rest for passengers and crew due to extremely low noise and vibration emissions of the VIT and VIP.
Provide freedom for newly built and retrofit designs due to high compactness and efficiency of the unit with rim drive technology, without gearbox, shaft and external cooling.
High efficiency, especially under partial load conditions
Highly dynamic speed adaption
Low levels of noise and vibration
Improved sustainability
Enhanced freedom of arrangement
Motion control for yachts and leisure boats with the electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP)
The powerful, directly integrated electric motor (permanent magnet motor) delivers high torque and fast response, without any gears. It thus ensures a more direct and almost loss-free conversion of the electrical drive power into thrust and keeps noise-emissions to a minimum.

Conversion Icon Yacht Project MASTER with electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP)
The MASTER Project was first unveiled at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show. World-famous designer and naval architect Espen Øino is responsible for her new appearances.
From a rugged osv to a luxury explorer yacht
95% of the original platform and superstructure will remain, but an additional four meter aft platform will bring the total length to an imposing 70 meters.
MASTER will be fitted with electric Voith Schneider Propellers (eVSP)
The Voith Schneider installation will improve the noise and vibrations levels on board and eliminate any need for stabilisers under way or zero speed. There is no need for rudders as the propellers act both for propulsion and steering.
iVSP: controlling a virtual Voith Schneider Propeller
With the help of the iVSP (Interactive Voith Schneider Propeller) program, you can experience for yourself how a Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) actually works.
We’ve completely redesigned the iVSP app and added features that make the Voith Schneider Propeller even more realistic in 3D.
In Version 2.1, the standard ship is a double-ended ferry, which you control with virtual joysticks. The double-ended ferry has four propellers. You control the two fore propellers with the left joystick and the two aft propellers with the right joystick.
Other new features include:
The user interface now has updated functionality that makes the iVSP app easier to use.
Steer like the captain of a VSP tug in the new Free Driving Mode. You can try out the maneuvers that are possible with this innovative drive.
Are you skilled enough to drive a VSP tug? Find out and master the course in Simulation Training.
Compare your results with friends and colleagues on the high score list.
Switch at any time from 3D into the views that show the motion or hydrodynamic forces. These show exactly what happens when you operate the VSP in real life.

Ensuring continuous and safe production, we offer components for the entire conveyor system that reduce downtime and have an excellent track record. Furthermore, our spare parts ensure continuous operation.
"I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand." In full accordance with this quotation by Confucius, Voith Turbo Schneider Propulsion has developed the iVSP (Interactive Voith Schneider Propeller) program in English and German. With the help of this program, you can experience for yourself how a Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) actually works.
Viewers can play captain by using their mouse to control an on-screen steering wheel and lever, or alternatively, an on-screen joystick. The virtual VSP reacts immediately and visibly to any change in rudder or driving pitch. Kinematic and hydrodynamic viewing options illustrate the actual VSP operation. The relevant forces are shown with arrows in different colors.
The maneuvers performed by the ship are displayed in the upper right-hand part of the screen. A camera linked to the Voith Water Tractor (VWT) demonstrates its maneuvers from a bird's eye perspective. The compass in the right-hand corner indicates the sailing direction.
