Thrustmaster of Texas Broadens Business Scope

The recent addition of DOEN water jet technology has allowed the Thrustmaster of Texas Inc. to extend spare parts and maintenance services of its entire water jet line-up.

DOEN is one of only five marine waterjet manufacturers in the world building water jets up to 5,500 hp (4,000 kW).

To meet the demands of large scale,  Thrustmaster has introduced two new models to the DOEN waterjet product lineup.

The new 400 / 450 series Thrustmaster water jets extend the power range to 8,500 hp (6,400kW) accommodating vessels of over 230 ft. (70 m) in length.

The new models stay true to the exclusive stainless steel jet pump configuration using DOEN’s axial flow design, as explained by Thrustmaster.

The stainless steel casting impeller configuration results in higher thrust throughout the speed range and unrivalled cavitation resistance.

A fast supply vessel can now be equipped with Thrustmaster’s water jets and Thrustmaster’s retractable steerable thrusters in the bow of the vessel for a complete propulsion package from one supplier.

The manufacturing of the Thrustmaster waterjet product range in Houston, TX is a significant extension of Thrustmaster’s existing portfolio of commercial thruster models.

Thrustmaster’s 2009 investment of USD 40 million in a new state-of-the-art 200,000 sq ft thruster manufacturing facility laid the groundwork for this latest chapter in Thrustmaster’s effort to become the leading supplier of marine propulsion and maneuvering equipment, which now includes the ability to produce large orders of water jets.

In addition to providing spare parts service and quick turnarounds for spare parts lists and quotes, the company also offers preventative maintenance services on all of their thruster models.
