Your opinion matters
Shipping is working to decarbonize and for it, companies which offer the potential to improve energy efficiency become a necessity and of utmost importance. This is why we are pleased to work with VICUSdt to ensure that our fleet is equipped with the correct ESD. The wide experience of Vicus in hull optimization together with their competent, friendly and quick response team, makes our cooperation a real asset for our Fleet.
Marcos Barros García (Fleet Technical Director)
(Helikon Shipping – United Kingdom)
It was great working with VICUSdt as they understood the criticality of energy efficiency on a battery powered vessel. Through multiple CFD iterations they were able to propose a highly optimised counter rotating propeller suited to our foiling application.
Matthew Tseng (VP, Projects)
(Yinson GreenTech – Singapore)
We are very happy with the overall professional service of VICUSdt, from day one right up to dispatch was an absolute pleasure dealing with you.
Johan Radyn (Refit Manager)
(Sea Harvest Corporation – Sudáfrica)
We are very satisfied about our flap rudder below our 4 ships. Our first ship is now for 4 years in operation and the clearances on the rudder are like new.
Louwe de Boer (General Manager)
(Osprey Fish BV – Países Bajos)
Great team using powerful CFD tools. Quick answer to all our needs allows us to get great hull lines performances. Deep experience in hull optimization, research vessel capabilities, low noise profile propellers and high efficiency rudders. Flexible behavior, easy to work with.

Vessel Zwerver I
Retrofitting de hélices CPP en cerqueros
This vessel was originally fitted with 2 azimuthal propellers, to which 2 additional shaft lines were added, retrofitted by Gebr. Kooiman shipyard; each of these lines consist of a FP propeller driven by a diesel engine Mitsubishi S12R-MPTAW of 940kW at 1600 rpm, coupled to a Reintjes gearbox WAF665 5.950:1.
