	NAUTICALweb - Rolls-Royce, Kamewa Waterjet
		Kamewa is a Swedish company taken over by a British colossus, which boasts a long experience in the sector of hydro-jet propulsion, systems used on thousands of ships and boats all over the world.
		The Kamewa A series hydro-jets are recommended by Rolls-Royce for planing boats required to produce a speed of over 30 knots with displacement between 31,000 and 218,000 lbs., allowing for single, double, triple and even quadruple installation.
		Thanks to the materials used for all the system components, the Kamewa hydro-jets are guaranteed free from problems such as corrosion; none of the immersed parts are, in fact, sensitive to the deteriorating agents of the marine environment.

		Kamewa waterjets have a very high pump efficiency.
		This provides higher speeds with the same power, or, substantially lower fuel consumption at a constant speed and lower power.
		At constant rpm, Kamewa waterjets absorb approximately the same power regardless of the ship’s speed.
