SCHOTTEL for the Canadian ferry industry
In many regions, travel routes can be long with many destinations only accessible by water. Ferries play a key role in the transport infrastructure in Canada. Ferry operators offer daily connections to provide people with safe passage or to transport goods. Having reliable equipment is the basis for fulfilling these tasks on schedule.
This is where SCHOTTEL comes in, offering efficient, safe and environmentally friendly propulsion systems. SCHOTTEL Automation Systems and Marine Services can be used to exploit the further potential of individual vessels or even an entire fleet.
For ferries of all types and sizes
SCHOTTEL offers the largest range of propulsion and control systems on the maritime market with its more than ten series covering a power range from 50 to 30,000 kilowatts. Whether azimuth propulsion system or controllable pitch propeller, main propulsion unit or manoeuvring aid, rudder propeller or automation system: We develop and produce intelligent solutions for ferries of all types and sizes.
By combining many years of propulsion expertise with powerful hardware and software and the latest scientific findings, we can ensure that all products are state of the art. Production takes place in our own factories, accompanied by continuous controls to ensure the highest quality standards.
