Today’s Marine Jet Power is the result of the 2012 merger of Ultra Dynamics and MJP Waterjets. But our history has roots extending back some 50 years – deep into the origins of waterjet propulsion. For several decades, great engineering minds were working around the world to perfect the waterjet concept. In the UK during the mid 60s, the Dowty Group, an aerospace and engineering conglomerate, was making drive units for military craft. In the U.S., Ultra Dynamics took over the marine propulsion sector of Ultra Hydraulics. Meanwhile, in Sweden, MJP was created in 1986 as a joint venture between the Marinteknik Shipyard and the Österby Gjuteri, a foundry with specialty expertise in casting stainless steel. Within a year they had designed and delivered their first waterjets – an installation that is still in daily service in the ”Cinderella” fleet of large ferries in the Stockholm archipelago. Each of these pioneering companies saw the future advantages of waterjet systems and made their special contributions. Now, their skill, commitment and knowledge in waterjet propulsion are effectively synergized into today’s Marine Jet Power.
