The first such ship to use the Voith Schneider propeller was the excursion boat Kempten.

Twin engines powered Voith Schneider propellers.

It is powered by two Scania diesel engines that each drive a Voith Schneider Propeller.

In addition, other Voith drive systems, such as the Voith Schneider Propeller, are used by marine vessels.

The Voith Schneider propeller (VSP), also known as a cycloidal drive is a specialized marine propulsion system.

An unusual feature of these ships is the use of Voith Schneider Propellers on approximately one quarter of the boats for extra maneuverability.

In addition, Voith launched a new product, the Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) for commercial vessels.

After successful sea trials on the test boat Torqueo, in 1937, the first Voith Schneider Propellers were put into operation in the narrow canals of Venice, Italy.

Each of the Bedok-class MCMV is powered by two independent vertical Voith Schneider Propellers, designed specifically to ensure excellent manoeuvrability and low noise signature.

The first British ship to use Voith Schneider propellers was the double-ended Isle of Wight ferry MV Lymington, launched in 1938.

The ships are constructed of glass reinforced plastic to maintain low magnetic and acoustic signatures, and are fitted with Voith Schneider Propellers, giving it the highest manoeuvrability in the navy.

In the marine industry, Cycloidal Propellers have been used for many years as propulsion devices for tug boats and ferries, and are commonly known as Voith Schneider Propellers.

During the 1937 World Fair in Paris, Voith was awarded the grand prize - three times - for its exhibition of Voith Schneider Propellers and Voith turbo-transmissions.

Three vessels operated the service - Paddle Steamer B. L. Nairn and two more modern ferries equipped with Voith Schneider Propellers, MVs Abercraig and Scotscraig.

The Juno and the Jupiter were remarkably manoeuvrable, being the first in the Calmac fleet to be fitted with Voith Schneider Propellers, which allowed the ships to literally turn within their own length.

In 1949 eight Voith Schneider Propellers went to the United Africa Company, 46 Voith turbo-transmissions were shipped to Brazil, and in 1951, a new paper-making machine was delivered to the Netherlands.
