Experience
Over 50 Voith Water Tractors
have been equipped with
Vegadrives since 1978. Most

their owners.

Training
The Voith Water Tractor is the best available technology
for ship handling.
To get the most out of it, we can provide on-site
nautical training by experienced VWT tugmasters.
Simulator training is also available.
Engineers and technicians can benefit from factory
training at Voith in Germany and at Yanmar in
Japan. This is often coupled with attendance of the
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of your own Vegadrive
components.
Visiting the factory is always useful. It allows better
understanding of the machinery and useful contacts
with those in charge of after sales, service and parts
at the manufacturer.
