Becker Marine Systems was founded in 1946 in Hamburg by Willi Becker. What began as a small engineering office soon developed into a pioneer in manoeuvring technology. The invention of the Becker Flap Rudder revolutionised ship manoeuvring and laid the foundation for decades of success. Over the years, the product portfolio has expanded to include high-performance rudders, energy-saving devices such as the Becker Mewis Duct®, the Becker Twisted Fin®, and most recently the Becker Daggerboard for wind- assisted propulsion. Today, Becker stands for innovation, quality, and sustainability – shaping the future of shipping with solutions that make vessels more efficient, safer, and environmentally friendly.
