Electric pusher Jacky delivered for urban waterways.

We are proud to highlight the delivery of the fully electric pusher Jacky, a compact and powerful workboat designed for operations in urban waterways around Amsterdam.

Built by Talsma Shipyards, Jacky represents the next generation of sustainable inland vessels and zero-emission workboats. Designed for city logistics and push operations, this electric pusher combines efficiency, manoeuvrability, and environmental performance in a compact and robust design.

Advanced manoeuvrability with Current Motion azimuth thruster

A key feature of Jacky is the integration of a 125 kW azimuth thruster supplied by Current Motion, delivering outstanding manoeuvrability and control. This advanced marine azimuth thruster enables precise positioning and efficient push operations, even in confined and busy urban waterways.

The vessel’s electric propulsion system is powered by electric motors supplied by Engiro, with E-Ship acting as the system integrator, ensuring seamless integration of all onboard electrical and propulsion components.

The fully electric Current Motion azimuth thruster system ensures:

• Excellent manoeuvrability in confined waterways 
• Zero-emission and low-noise operation 
• High efficiency in stop-and-go urban conditions 
• Reliable and responsive vessel control 

Sustainable and Future-Proof Workboat Design

With increasing demand for sustainable maritime solutions, vessels like Jacky play a vital role in the transition to greener inland shipping. The fully electric propulsion system significantly reduces emissions while maintaining high operational performance.

The integration of a Current Motion azimuth thruster further enhances vessel capability, making Jacky ideally suited for inland logistics, harbour operations, and urban cargo transport.

Electric workboats with azimuth thrusters

We partner with shipyards by supplying azimuth thrusters for workboats and inland vessels, delivering superior manoeuvrability and operational efficiency. Our propulsion solutions are tailored for push boats, and other specialised workboats in challenging environments.
