Commercial Vessels

Trawlers and work boats require a propeller that offers maximum thrust, smoothness and maneuverability, whilst offering maximum fuel economy. VEEM’s primary focus is to design propellers with high efficiency.

High propeller efficiency translates to improved fuel economy and increased vessel speed. For many vessels, the saving in fuel consumption over one to two years will pay for the cost of a new propeller.

VEEM offer many designs suitable to the fishing and work boat industry which ensures that the optimal solution for each vessel is available. For trawlers, pusher boats, and tugs with nozzles, VEEM offer traditional designs such as the VEEMKaplan, however the VEEMSkewplan design offers the ultimate in thrust, smoothness and efficiency. Low speed work boats without nozzles fitted benefit from VEEMStar designs providing excellent thrust and manoeuvrability.

Manufacturing - light years ahead

Bespoke Design

Every VEEM propeller is engineered to match the exact needs of each vessel. Our customised designs draw on decades of practical insight, advanced CFD and FEA capability, and a dedicated team of highly skilled marine propulsion specialists with real-world experience.

Absolutely Identical

Our manufacturing technology ensures propellers are cast and machined to micrometre accuracy, enabling identical replacements and perfectly matched left–right sets with no performance drift across vessel series.

Fully CNC Machined

VEEM propellers are 100% 5-axis CNC-machined to hair-thickness accuracy over every surface, from boss to blade tip, unlike semi-CNC alternatives. This guarantees perfect form, stability, and repeatable high-performance hydrodynamics. Learn more about VEEM vs Class 1 & S-Class >

In-House Alloying

VEEM is one of the very few propeller manufacturers that alloys all metals in-house. This ensures total control over material chemistry, consistent quality, and optimal strength to resist cavitation, corrosion, and fatigue.

Decades of Data

Every propeller benefits from VEEM’s decades of sea-trial data, hydrodynamic research, CFD/FEA validation, and continuous refinement—delivering industry-leading efficiency, smoothness, and thrust performance.
