Q1. Tell us about your first HamiltonJet project with us.
My first project was a conversion of a CPP propeller vessel to HamiltonJet. It was five vessels where we changed the CPP propeller system to HamiltonJets.
Q2. If you were a HamiltonJet component, what would you be and why?
Maybe the nozzle, so I can decide if we go right or left.
Q3. When did your relationship with HamiltonJet start?
It started in the January 2019, in Denmark.
Q4. What is your most memorable HamiltonJet moment?
It's difficult to say. I've had a lot. The first one was actually in Spain, where we had the first distributor conference that I participated in.
Q5. What has been your most interesting vessel project in the last year and why?
It's difficult, again, I would say probably the most interesting project in the last year was the landing vessels for Greenland, where we are close to securing three vessels.
Q6. What achievement are you most proud of?
I'm proud of getting waterjets in Denmark, because it was not a waterjet country.
Q7. What is the most popular jet in your area?
It's the bigger jets, it's the HM series.
Q8. How did you get into the marine industry and why?
I started 25 years ago within the marine industry with the gearboxes for marine vessels from ZF and from then on, just hanging on to the marine industry, because I like it.
Q9. Which segment do you anticipate the largest growth in the coming years?
In our area it will definitely be wind craft vessels.
Q10. Where do you see the marine industry going in the next 5 to 10 years?
We see a big change in the engines if permission are granted for the change from diesel to electric and for hybrid vessels. There are a lot of changes going on.
