Picture
Based in Gothenburg, on the West Coast of Sweden, Humphree is a company dedicated to providing “Speed at Sea” through it’s innovative technology solutions for high performance vessels.
 Founded by a team of hydrodynamic and marine engineers, all active in the field of marine high-speed propulsion and ship hydrodynamics since the early ’90s.
Humphree was formed in 2001 to provide cutting edge products and services tailored to unlock the true potential of all types of fast vessels – new or existing.
Ultimate Marine Power is pleased to be the Australian distributor for all of Humphree’s products and offer the local sales, support & service through our dealer network. 

Humphree interceptors

The Humphree Interceptor is low weight and has a robust design. The installation is easy, with a minimum of pre-work needed, and with low maintenance due to the corrosion free material. Powered by water tight electric actuator placed on the inside of the transom, mean easy access and good protection. All Humphree Interceptors can be custom made to follow any hull curve.

All Speed Fins

A new unique innovative custom-ready fin design
Humphree stabilising fins brings state of the art technology with fast acting brushless electric servo units. Powered by 24 V DC it gives you possibility to have full comfort without the need of genset running. The new Humphree fin design has its upper edge made solid, another unique Humphree innovation.
The common need to cut the fin to avoid touching the hull is now very easy as no lamination is required. Simply cut the thin solid part of the fin to required shape and it is ready to be installed. It is further possible to reach a better tolerance of the modification compared to the traditional cutting/fiberglass work.
Combining the Humphree fin system with our interceptors and you have a full stabilisation system for roll, pitch and yaw motions. For best control and lowest fuel burn.

Stabilising Fins

Picture
The new electric fin stabilising system from Humphree brings a cost and power effective stabilising system to the marine market.

To control Roll and Pitch motions on board the vessel improves the ride and comfort for the crew and passengers. For better damping efficiency of a Fin Ride Control system is a proven design for underway stabilisation.



Features & Benefits

  • 24V DC- Powered directly from the power bank in the vessel there is no need for complicated installations with hydraulic pipes.
  • Brushless electric motors- The electric motors have a minimum requirement of service.
  • Designed for 24/7 operating time- No matter how many hours you have of operation per year, the Humphree pitch fins will keep your vessel stabilised.
  • Class Approved installation- The installation can be class approved.

System  functions

Automatic Trim Control
Automatic trim control delivers perfect running trim at all times. Having the optimum running trim of your vessel means best performance, faster acceleration and fuel savings.
If your vessel runs with high trim it is likely that you are using too much fuel and not getting the speed that you could do.
With Humphree Automatic Trim Control you will always have the optimum trim on your boat, with out the need of need of adjusting the trim system manually.
Picture
Automatic List Control
Uneven loading, cross winds and varying conditions will normally cause the boat to list. When running in a straight course, Automatic List Control will correct the boat list to a preset target list angle, usually zero degrees. This can be changed by the operator to intentionally list the boat. When the boat enters a turn the system will allow the boat to heel naturally during the turn and once the boat has left the turn the system will continue to correct the boat to the preset target list angle.

Benefits: 
  • Perfect list angle control, regardless the wind direction or load condition;
  • Improved comfort, control and handling;
  • Automatic control of list;
  • Adjustable list target angle;
  • Easy set up in control panel.
Picture
Coordinated Turn Control
For numerous applications the heel angle when turning can be significantly improved to obtain higher speed and increased comfort. The Coordinated Turn Control automatically adjusts the heeling angle of the boat during turns to reduce the side forces for people on board. The system continuously monitors the rudder position during the turn and the Interceptor blade movement is thus automatically coordinated with the rudder movement. With a controlled heel angle, higher turning speeds and better comfort can be achieved.
Coordinated Turn Control can be combined with Automatic Trim and Automatic List Control, or with Active Ride Control for maximum comfort on board.
​
Benefits:
  • Controlled heel angle during turns for improved comfort and safety;
  • Possibility to turn tighter, reduced turning radius;
  • Maintain higher speed during turns;
  • Automatic control of heel angle during turns;
  • Interface to most steering systems, including Volvo Penta IPS;
  • Easy setup in control panel.
​Coordinated Turn Control can be combined with Automatic Trim and Automatic List Control, or with Active Ride Control for maximum comfort on board.
Active

Automatic roll and pitch stabilisation​

While operating in open seas boats are constantly exposed to waves that will cause roll and pitch motions resulting in reduced comfort on board. With Humphree Active Ride Control system the Interceptors are instantly actuated to provide lift which counteracts these motions and at the same time optimises the running trim and list angle – all in one system.
The system includes a Ride Control Unit (RCU) which consists of an advanced digital controller with unique adaptive control algorithms and an advanced sensor package which uses a combination of GPS, gyro and accelerometers to measure 3D rate of turn and ship accelerations.
The combination of responsive electric actuated Interceptors and sophisticated Humphree Active Ride Control provides an efficient ride control system for boats of any sizes. In the Humphree control panel the system is easily activated or deactivated with a single button press. ​

Benefits: 
  • Efficient roll- and pitch damping at semi-planing and planing speeds, for comfort and safety;
  • “All in one” system – Trim and Stabilisation;
  • Improved operability with reduced motions;
  • Minimal added drag and weight;
  • Easy upgraded from any other Humphree boat control systems;
  • Easily installed or retrofitted on most mono hulls and catamarans;
  • Unique among marine stabilisation systems.
Interceptor Steering
HUMPHREE integrates Interceptor steering to high speed ferries to significantly improve fuel savings and course keeping for waterjet propelled vessels.
The traditional means of steering with redirecting the thrusting force from the waterjet and have the autopilot to constantly correct this to keep a steady course can now be significantly improved with an assisting Interceptor steering. Not only the thrust losses from the redirection of the waterjet is cancelled but the controls of the vessel is improved due to a more direct response to the steering.
The interceptor will provide a steering force immediately once deployed and give the waterjet propelled vessel a much straighter course compared to its usually snaky track. The obvious and proven benefits in speed increase, fuel savings and savings on waterjet steering gears are appreciated by the Commercial operators. The fuel savings have been documented to be between 3-5%. In Navy applications the tactical diameter and advance is of strategic importance and will also be improved.
