Overview
A moving curtain of water around the ship
The Nemesis 5000 is a high-pressure vessel boarding deterrent driven by seawater at between 3 and 5 bar from the vessel’s fire water system. Installation doesn’t need class approval, as it doesn’t affect the design or operation of the fire system.
Each machine produces high-pressure water jets. With multiple machines mounted over the side of the ship, from the handrail or fish plate approximately 20 m apart, they create a moving curtain of water around the vessel. The machine only sends water below the horizontal, making the best use of the water available.

Scope of supply
Everything needed per machine
One fully adjustable mounting bracket is supplied per machine for the best jet positioning and overlap. Special brackets can be made where needed. Layflat supply hose is cut to suit each vessel, keeping losses between the fire valve and the machine to a minimum and reducing the amount of hose running across the deck.
