What Alamarin-Jet does
Alamarin-Jet Oy is a privately held Finnish manufacturer of waterjet propulsion units and integrated control systems for the global marine market, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Härmä, Finland with an additional engineering and controls development site in Tampere. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies two main waterjet families covering input power from 100 kW to 1500 kW (2040 HP): the AJ Series (AJ 160 through AJ 340) for light commercial and pleasure craft up to 550 kW, and the Omega Series (Omega 33, 37, and 42) for demanding commercial, military, and high-performance applications up to 1500 kW. Its product portfolio is differentiated by three granted patents (Combi-Frame, Dual Angle Shaft, Force Vectoring) plus proprietary technologies including Frame Integrated Bearing Structure (FIBS), Modular Intake Geometry (MIG), and stainless steel pump units; over 90% of production occurs in Finland with the remaining 10% sourced within the European Union.
The company's control-systems business complements the hardware with three product lines: the Sigma Control System (electro-hydraulic integrated drive-by-wire with joystick, position hold, virtual anchor, autopilot modes, and a USV-ready EXIF interface supporting NMEA 0183/2000 and CAN protocols), the Delta DP Control System (modular high-level propulsion control integrating vessel propulsion, steering, and navigation with dynamic positioning and 3-axis joystick control), and the Actuator Control Unit (ACU) for modular propulsion control with IP67 protection. These systems are sold standalone or bundled with waterjets and integrate with major marine engines including MAN, Cummins, Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Steyr, FPT, Baudouin, and Wärtsilä.
Alamarin-Jet generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of waterjet propulsion units and control systems to shipyards, vessel operators, and government/defense end-customers via a global certified dealer and distributor network complemented by direct enterprise sales from its Finnish headquarters. Secondary revenue streams include aftermarket spare parts and service through certified dealers, extended warranty packages, and paid Operation & Service Training courses delivered via AJ Academy either at the Finland factory or customer premises. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact the company or local dealers for quotes. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, and its AJ 230 is recognized as the industry standard for SOLAS Fast Rescue Craft worldwide.

Alamarin-Jet competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Volvo Penta: Major marine engine manufacturer that pairs with waterjet propulsion systems (including Alamarin-Jet's) for integrated marine packages. Volvo Penta is both a complementary supplier and a partial competitor in marine drivetrains, and is an existing integration partner at Alamarin-Jet's waterjet conferences.
- ZF Marine Technology: Supplier of marine transmissions, steering systems and propulsion components commonly integrated with waterjets in professional and commercial vessels. ZF participates alongside Alamarin-Jet at industry events and supplies components that spec into the same integrated propulsion packages as Alamarin-Jet's waterjets.
Direct peers
- HamiltonJet: New Zealand-based waterjet propulsion manufacturer with a comparable product portfolio spanning small to large waterjets for recreational, commercial and military vessels. HamiltonJet is the historical market leader in waterjets globally and competes head-to-head against Alamarin-Jet's AJ and Omega series for the same vessel classes.
- Castoldi S.r.l. Italian waterjet manufacturer producing waterjet propulsion units for recreational and commercial boats as well as rescue craft. Castoldi competes directly with Alamarin-Jet's AJ Series in the leisure, rescue and small commercial segments, particularly in Mediterranean and European markets.
- MJP (Marine Jet Power): Swedish manufacturer of waterjet propulsion units targeting professional marine, military and USV applications. MJP's product range and target customers overlap closely with Alamarin-Jet's Omega Series and USV-focused control systems.
Broad incumbents
- Schottel GmbH: German manufacturer of marine propulsion systems including azimuth thrusters, propellers and rudderpropellers. While Schottel's core focus is azimuth/thruster systems rather than waterjets, it competes broadly for the same commercial and naval vessel propulsion budgets as Alamarin-Jet's Omega Series.
- ABB Marine & Ports: Global supplier of marine propulsion, automation and control systems, including Azipod and electric propulsion offerings. ABB competes broadly with Alamarin-Jet for naval, commercial and hybrid-electric vessel propulsion and control system budgets at the higher end of the market.
- Wärtsilä Marine: Global marine technology supplier offering engines, propulsion systems and integrated solutions for commercial and naval vessels. Wärtsilä is a broader incumbent that competes in marine propulsion including waterjets (via joint ventures and acquisitions), making it a portfolio-scale comparable for Alamarin-Jet's larger Omega Series deployments.
Emerging players
- Radial Sciences / Doen Waterjets: Australian-based manufacturer of waterjet propulsion units focused on smaller commercial and recreational vessels. Doen competes with Alamarin-Jet's smaller AJ Series waterjets in Australasia and Asia-Pacific fast-craft markets.
Regional players
- Bruntons Propellers: UK-based manufacturer of marine propellers and waterjet-related components serving defense, commercial and high-performance vessel markets. Bruntons overlaps with Alamarin-Jet in the fast craft and defense propulsion supply chain in Europe but is primarily propeller-focused rather than full waterjet systems.
