Van Voorden propellers are known in the maritime world for their high efficiency, low noise levels and excellent material quality.

Design and production

The propellers of Van Voorden are designed and manufactured in our foundry in Zaltbommel

according to the specification of the client. In order to anticipate the market with regard to

propellers with a high capacity density, Van Voorden has developed, together with MARIN, a unique and highly advanced expert system for the design and analyses of ship propellers. With this system new designs are achieved through a mix of knowledge from previously made propellers and new assessments. With this expert system, we are now also able to recommend you the choice of your propulsion system during the early stages of ship design.

We aim at a highest efficiency, combined with the lowest possible production of sound and vibrations for every type of ship, according to the requirement of the customer.
The propeller is a vital but also a vulnerable part of the ship. In this way efficiency has a substantial influence on your fuel cost and, therefore, the exploitation of your ship. As equally as important is the life span and reparability of the propeller. Should unexpected damage occur to your propeller, you can cal on our repair workshops all over the world. This will keep you up to speed and an optimum efficiency will be the result.
