Hydromaster

Hydromaster propels Lake Windermere cruise ship

The 34-meter cruise vessel ‘Swift’ is commencing operations at Lake Windermere in the UK.

The vessel, built by DAMEN, is propelled by two HYDROMASTER Series 3 Well Mounted L-drive Azimuth thruster units.

Operation from the wheelhouse is done by two independent follow up control levers. This allows for combined 360° steering and variable speed control of the two 150 kW electric motors.

Along with the frequency drives, these were included in the Hydromaster scope as part of the thruster package.

Future-oriented and growth ambitions

Hydromaster has evolved and grown significantly over the years. Since 2015, we have operated under Dutch ownership. We’ve expanded our product range – adapting to changing needs such as hybrid and all-electric applications – modernized production, and evolved into a trusted propulsion partner for vessels owners across the globe.

As part of our international growth strategy, we established a local presence in Singapore in 2019 and recently in North America. With a growing presence and partner network across Europe, North America, and Asia, we continue to invest in the future of smart, reliable marine propulsion – built on expertise and always with a personal touch.
