Ship rudder TWISTED

Key Features of Twisted Rudders When considered as part of a fully optimised propulsion package, bespoke, performance-oriented rudders can have a notable impact on vessel manoeuvrability, responsiveness, fuel consumption and boat speed, as well as directly reducing noise, vibration and cavitation levels. Optimised profile of each rudder delivered through CFD. Significantly improved propulsive efficiency, with no impact on vessel manoeuvrability or steering performance. Reduced rotational losses and minimised drag provide the potential to increase top speed by up to two knots. Power savings provide the opportunity to reduce engine load by up to 3% at the same RPM, in turn significantly reducing fuel burn. Lower suction pressure peaks to reduce cavitation, noise and vibration, improve both ride comfort and rudder lifespan. Potential to downsize the steering rams to save weight and cost. Manufactured to any classification society rules, including all IACS societies. We are able to satisfy any required construction approach, with experience across all major methods.
