Hydro-Armor propulsion has many advantages for river navigation:
• Very easy to install on board.
• Easy conversion of existing boats.
• Access to the propellers without requiring dry-docking.
• Navigation safety thanks to instant inversion of the direction of the propeller (exceptional crash-stop ability).
COASTAL SHIPPING APPLICATIONS
Hydro-Armor propulsion is of interest to many inshore vessels:
