EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER
Australia’s leading marine casting manufacturer has a new name
For many years, P & W Marine, Cameron Engineering and Fieldings Foundry co-existed in their Brisbane workshop. Then in 2019, owner and CEO Ross Cameron took the opportunity to unify his stable of companies by rebranding them with a common business name and identity. The outcome, Ingot Foundry, Ingot Engineering and Ingot Marine. Now Managing Director, Cameron said “Our foundry, marine and engineering businesses had so much in common. Looking to the future, I really wanted our staff and customers to recognize this and see us as the great team that we are.” Manufacturing High Quality Underwater Propulsion Systems for over 40 years Ingot Marine, an Australian owned and operated business, has been Australia’s largest manufacturer of underwater propulsion systems since 1978. With a hard-earned reputation as the one-stop- shop for total underwater propulsion systems, Ingot Marine is far more than just marine engineers with the potential to produce and supply all the elements for both leisure and commercial craft. In a totally unique arrangement, working with sister companies Ingot Foundry and Ingot Engineering, the team at Ingot can create quality castings and machine them into precision parts. Skilled moulders at Ingot Foundry produce custom castings in aluminium, bronze and gunmetal using induction furnaces to ensure alloy quality. The modern workshop at Ingot Engineering is equipped with CNC lathes and three
axis machining centres, turning the raw castings into high quality precision parts. Naturally, their welders are certified to meet Lloyds, DNV and Bureau Veritas standards.

Manufacturing Velocity Aligned Rudders Otherwise known as “twisted rudders” VAR’s were initially introduced to delay the onset of cavitation erosion damage on rudders
and ultimately reduce the periodic repair costs of eroded rudders. A ‘velocity aligned rudder’ takes advantage of cross flow velocity components in the propellor wake by careful design of blade sections to distribute the pressure more evenly on the surface of the rudder and reduce the impact of negative pressure concentration near the leading edge of a conventional straight rudder. “Sea trials of our velocity aligned rudder on a sports yacht showed an increase on boat speed by 0.7 knot at maximum engine speed. It is also expected that the noise and vibration from a VAR rudder will be reduced.” says Cameron. “Give us a call if you’d like to know more about velocity aligned rudders.” he added. A unique offering with customer first approach to service. Cameron sums up the Ingot approach to customer service saying “We are on a crusade to supply the best quality, design and manufactured shaft line to all vessels on the water at the most cost-effective price.
