Kort are confident in their predictions and have built up close relationships with customers when specifying requirements for new vessels.
Over 20 yrs ago Kort formed a company in Canada trading successfully in the fishing industry. Kort were offered a license for an improved performance nozzle section which was not taken up. After evaluation Kort concluded there was little to be gained from this profile compared to others offered by Kort.
Vessel performance to match Owners requirements is a combination of nozzle and propeller design not either of these alone.
Kort have introduced the Kort XL System to meet customers requests for an alternative to the HR System and others. This design incorporates 40yrs experience PLUS results from an EU funded research program involving UNEWC and Universities in Spain and Italy.
The Kort XL System has many innovations and design refinements which give improved nozzle thrust. Results from the EU study and full scale tests have proved the benefits of the system.
The improved efficiency of the Kort XL System is a positive benefit for fishing vessels. Several units are already in service and others are on order.
With the Kort Nozzle System an owner can work his existing fishing gear using less engine power than is needed with an open propeller, resulting in reduced fuel consumption. Fuel savings of 12-20% have been reported by skippers.
Kort personnel are committed to the fishing industry. They understand fishing methods and owner requirements and are therefore the obvious choice for advice on performance and powering of new and existing vessels.
