BECKER TWIST RUDDER – ENANCING SHIP EFFICIENCY

The special shape of the Becker Twist Rudder ensures that self-induced cavitation is minimised, which not only extends the life-time of the rudder but also reduces maintenance and repair costs. The twisted profile ensures that propulsion efficiency is enhanced by recovering losses from the propeller slipstream. These improved features offer significant benefits for ship handling and the environment. Overall, the Becker Twist Rudder represents a superior solution that significantly improves both the performance and environmental compatibility of modern shipping.
