RUDDER SYSTEMS

LOEWE rudder systems for optimal manoeuvrability and lower emissions and fuel costs

Custom-built LOEWE flap rudders with FCR technology

Install our LOEWE flap rudders featuring FCR technology and benefit from lower emissions and fuel costs

LOEWE flap rudders with FCR technology give you the following benefits:

  • reduced operating expenditure
  • reduced emissions
  • reduced emissions
  • reduced reliance on tugs
  • small neutral steering angle
  • maximum manoeuvrability at low speeds
  • no cast parts
  • LOEWE gives you the twin benefits of optimised manoeuvrability and fuel-efficient FCR design.
  • We can optimise and tailor the rudder design for your operational requirements.
  • We can implement our FCR technology with any rudder and profile type and any rudder size – just ask!

LOEWE full-spade rudders with LOEWE FCR hub-bulb technology

Install our LOEWE full-spade rudder featuring LOEWE FCR hub-bulb technology and benefit from lower emissions and fuel costs

LOEWE full-spade rudders with LOWE FCR hub-bulb technology give you the following benefits:

  • reduced operating expenditure
  • reduced emissions
  • reduced propeller hub vortex losses
  • reduced vibration
  • reduced propeller-induced noise
  • avoidance of propeller hub vortex cavitation

The LOEWE hub-bulb design is available on all profile types.

  • We will optimise your ships’ performance while ensuring compliance with environmental legislation and rules.
  • Our technology reduces propeller hub vortex and other undesirable effects that impair efficiency.
  • We can optimise and tailor the rudder design for your operational requirements.
  • On request, we can also implement our FCR technology for this LOEWE MARINE rudder type.

High-reliability LOEWE semi-spade rudders with zero cast parts

Install a rudder horn built from steel and forged parts and benefit from a proven semi-spade rudder solution with no cast parts

  • no risk of casting defects
  • superior fatigue strength compared with conventional semi-spade rudders
  • suitable as a replacement system for defective semi-spade rudders
  • simpler and faster to install than semi-spade rudders made using cast parts
  • tried and proven, including in Arctic conditions

Install a rudder horn built from steel and forged parts and benefit from a proven semi-spade rudder solution with no cast parts

As with our other rudder types, our semi-spade rudders offer the combined benefits of optimised manoeuvrability and fuel-efficient FCR design.

We can optimise and tailor the rudder design for your operational requirements – without using cast parts.
