EMPRESS RUDDER
The EMPRESS/EMPIRE-Combination Rudder provides the best possible combination of highest maneuvering properties and energy efficiency. Ships like feeder vessels or Ro-Pax ferries are using this type of rudder system. Further many tankers or bunker vessels are equipped with the EMPRESS/EMPIRE – Combination rudder system.
Introduction
“Topmodel” EMPRESS Rudder
Full Spade Rudder with Full-twist leading edge
The „Topmodel“, because of its full-twist leading edge the EMPRESS-Rudder provide an optimum performance and efficiency. The wake-field based design of the rudder enable the highest level of power and fuel savings. The result of this optimized co-operation is the achievement of requested power savings. A further reduction of cavitation is possible with the EMPRESS-Rudder, which is positive for the durability and sustainability of the rudder and the whole vessel.
MM-Offshore recommend the EMPRESS-Rudder for
the following vessel types:
Medium & high speed vessels
Large container vessels
Naval / Military vessels
Special vessels like cruise liner and other ferries
In general this type of rudder fits to a wide range of vessels
Key facts:
Full-twist leading edge for reducing the resistance of whole hull
Outstanding „performance partnership“ between propeller and rudder, caused by the wake-field based optimization
Noise reductions in the aft end section of vessel
Outstanding maneuvering and course keeping properties
Cavitation reduced to a minimum
Power & Fuel savings on highest level
