Kocurek Marine have almost finished the assembly of all hull units, with the two stern units, complete with Kort designed nozzles manufactured by Kocurek, ready for final alignment to the main hull. The advantages of Kort Nozzles are well known for towing vessels such as tugs and fishing boats. However, significant improvements in performance can be achieved on vessels such as coasters, inland waterways craft and bulk carriers using designs optimised for each vessel type. The key to vessel performance lies in design of the propeller!
The main engines are now in postion and the interior fit-out has commenced.
