SPJ - SCHOTTEL PumpJet

Compact, quiet, efficient – the SCHOTTEL PumpJet has stood the test of time as a reliable take-home system as well as manoeuvring and main propulsion system in all types of vessels where maximum manoeuvring performance, space-saving installation and utmost comfort are paramount. As a modern shallow-water propulsion unit, the SPJ provides full thrust in all directions even at minimum immersion depths. The flush installation along the vessel’s hull provides optimal protection against damage in the event of ground contact and is supplemented by an inlet grid.

SCHOTTEL MariHub

MariHub is the data acquisition and IoT Gateway solution from SCHOTTEL. It collects, analyzes and transfers signals from sensors, machinery and other ship equipment to an onshore cloud server.

With MariHub, the vessel operator benefits from data-driven services such as performance evaluations and on-board high-speed data processing for real-time condition analysis. The local recording in a ring buffer prevents the loss of data even if the internet connection is interrupted. It is available as a stand-alone system or integrated with SCHOTTEL's Automation Systems.
