• Conclusion
Conclusions
• Simulation tools (Simulator, CFD, Optimisation) are used to enhance the

VSP and the Voith Water Tractor (VWT)
• The Voith Ship Simulator is used in the design process of VWT

• The VWT has a very good seakeeping behaviour
• The Voith Roll Stabilisation reduces the roll motion of a VWT remarkably
• The VWT “T-Class” can be equipped with VRS, VTF and Inline Thrusters
• The VWT “T-Class” (LWL = 33m) generates at 8 kn 115 t steering forces,

at 10 kn 165 t
