Our manoeuvring systems for your fleet
Our innovative and versatile rudder solutions not only offer exceptional propulsion efficiency but also ensure optimal course stability for every ship size and type, even under the most challenging conditions. Our products are aimed at maximising the manoeuvrability of your ship while enhancing its performance and efficiency in an eco-friendly way. Thanks to our advanced technology, our rudders are characterised by exceptionally quick rudder response times, enabling precise and efficient manoeuvres.
This is crucial for navigating in tight harbour areas and challenging weather conditions. We place great emphasis on the ease of maintenance and longevity of our products. Therefore, our range includes not only robust and reliable rudder solutions but also comprehensive customer service. From individual technical support to fast spare parts service – our commitment to your satisfaction and safety is paramount.
Customised rudder technology: From NACA standard to individual high-performance rudder
Ship designers face the challenge of finding a compromise between manoeuvrability and propulsion efficiency, as no rudder profile is optimal in both areas simultaneously.
The choice of the right profile depends on the specific needs of the customer. In this context, Becker Marine Systems offers tailored solutions.
While some rudders are based directly on a specific NACA profile, others are derived from these profiles. For example, the three main rudder categories from Becker:
From these three types of rudders, various other rudder variations can be derived according to requirements.
Becker also develops mixed profiles, which represent their own combination of different elements and are also designed in close coordination with ship designers.
Efficient systems for demanding manoeuvring requirements
The full spade rudders from Becker Marine Systems are established worldwide. Our competence in developing rudders that are not only efficient but also meet the highest manoeuvring requirements makes us a valuable partner in the maritime industry.
Full spade rudders: Becker's path to maritime excellence
As an expert in the field of hydrodynamic and structural engineering, Becker Marine Systems has always specialised in full spade rudders. Compared to conventional semi-spade rudders, full spade rudders offer ships of any kind and size a more sophisticated and technically advanced solution. The possibility of full movement of the rudder blade without fixed, integrated parts such as the rudder horn leads to better manoeuvrability and more efficient steering of the ship. The design and construction of full spade rudders require specialised knowledge and experience – a competence that engineers at Becker Marine Systems have been distinguished by for decades.
Advantages of full spade rudders: Manoeuvrability, efficiency, and cavitation
Becker rudders: Rapid amortisation through energy savings
Even with energy savings of just 1%, our rudders amortise in less than a year. Our rudders not only offer immediate cost savings through reduced power consumption but also represent a long-term economical solution. Invest in a Becker rudder and benefit from rapid amortisation as well as lasting savings in ship operation.
