Shuttle Tankers Becker’s solutions for high manoeuvrability requirements Shuttle tankers have a high requirement for manoeuvrability, especially at slow and zero speed, while the tanker operates in DP mode. The main part of a shuttle tanker’s operating time is at slow speed, zero speed and DP mode. For these kinds of operations it is essential for shuttle tankers to have appropriately designed and dimensioned manoeuvring equipment. Becker’s Schilling® KSR (King Support Rudder) meets the demands for highly efficient manoeuvrability of shuttle tankers One very important component in this respect is the rudder which can have major influence on the shuttle tanker’s manoeuvrability. The dimensioning figures of rudders for shuttle tankers are different from conventional rudder layouts. The rudder needs to deliver optimum performance at slow speed, zero speed and transit mode. BASELINE

Shuttle Tankers Becker provides the perfect solutions Shuttle tankers require high lift rudders, such as a Schilling® KSR or FKSR rudders. Becker Marine Systems’ KSR (King Support Rudder) system is the key to providing full spade rudders of unlimited size for large vessels such as shuttle tankers. The sophisticated and well-proven KSR System, which can be combined with flap type rudders, Schilling® profiled rudders or conventional shaped rudder profiles was invented by Becker Marine Systems decades ago and is being permanently optimised. This invention has made Becker Marine Systems the...
