What our clients say

Voith propellers differ significantly from traditional screw propellers. Therefore, we have special technical questions for which there is no “textbook knowledge”. Partners with technical expertise are therefore particularly important to us.

JASCO ShipConsult has shown themselves to be very flexible and quick in solving noise issues: with specialist company-knowledge, the necessary technical equipment and - most importantly for us - with motivated and highly trained employees.

Dr. Dirk Jürgens

VOITH Turbo

JASCO's deep understanding of noise propagation helped us redesign key components, reducing noise emissions below the contractual limit and minimizing noise transmission through the coupling, thereby meeting the highest acoustic standards and exceeding our customers' expectations.

Nora Yazdandoost

Geislinger Couplings

Over the years, JASCO has expertly addressed our complex acoustic challenges, including the integration of our engines, generating sets, and propulsion systems into various noise-sensitive applications. Whether it's managing vessel noise signatures or enhancing onboard comfort, their expertise consistently delivers effective solutions, ensuring our products meet even the most stringent customer requirements.
