Twisted Leading Edge
Improved rudder efficiency and minimised risk of cavitation
MANOEUVRING SYSTEMS RUDDER OPTIONS
Efficiency, protection and performance – combined in one smart rudder design. A twisted rudder reduces cavitation by evening out pressure on the blade, improving efficiency and lowering erosion. Its split-profile design aligns with the propeller wake, cutting drag and enhancing overall performance.
Strong rotational flows from the propeller create areas of low pressure on the rudder blade.
King Support Bearing
The key to large full spade rudders The Becker King Support enables large full-spade rudders up to 130 m² with a slim profile. By moving the main bearing closer to the force centre, bending moments are reduced, resulting in a more stable and efficient rudder. The design reduces maintenance needs thanks to a smart bearing arrangement design and no rudder horn and improves manoeuvrability at low speeds.

Custom-fit solutions for:
Effective rudder control for offshore vessels and workboats
Discover the wide range of options and additional functions that take our rudder and manoeuvring systems to the next level. By using these options, you can, for example, achieve improved rudder efficiency, minimise the risk of cavitation or increase the performance of your systems under special environmental conditions. Whether larger rudders with the same efficiency, protection against extreme environmental influences or special adaptations for use on fishing boats - our customised solutions offer you numerous advantages to make the operation of your ships even more efficient and safer.
Becker Flap Rudder
Becker rudders with heel pintle are ideal for smaller and slow-moving vessels like tugs or fishing boats. They offer additional stability and reduced risk of interaction between the rudder and ropes or nets. The design reduces bending moments, allows for a slender rudder blade and requires only a compact steering gear.

Becker Nozzle
The heel pintle arm acts like a rope guard and protects the rudder from ropes and nets.
