Seagoing rudder systems

Product catalog summary

Overview of Seagoing Rudder Systems
The document provides a detailed overview of various rudder systems developed by Damen Marine Components, focusing on their design, performance, and suitability for different types of vessels. Key rudder systems include the ATLANTIC, MASTER, ESPAC, BARKE, and TIMON, each offering unique features and benefits.

ATLANTIC Rudder
The ATLANTIC rudder is a full-spade rudder designed for high-speed vessels, offering excellent course-keeping and minimal resistance. It is customizable to meet specific vessel requirements and is particularly suited for container and military vessels.

MASTER Rudder
Characterized by a fishtail-shaped trailing edge, the MASTER rudder provides high performance in shallow waters with rudder angles up to 65 degrees. It requires minimal maintenance and is suitable for a wide range of sea-going vessels.

ESPAC (Energy Saving Package)
The ESPAC combines an optimized fixed pitch propeller with an asymmetric leading edge rudder, rudder bulb, and adapted hub caps to enhance propulsion efficiency. It is designed for dredgers, fishery vessels, and short sea multi-purpose vessels.

BARKE Flap Rudders
The BARKE flap rudder offers premium maneuvering performance with a flap angle over 100 degrees. It features an enclosed linkage system that reduces noise and provides overload protection, making it ideal for cruise vessels and ferries.

TIMON Rudder
The TIMON flap rudder is designed for medium and high-speed vessels, offering excellent maneuvering and course-keeping performance with a flap angle up to 90 degrees.

Asymmetric Rudder Technology (ART™)
ART™ technology is designed to reduce resistance and cavitation while increasing the operational profile of vessels. It is available in Z- or S-shape and is suitable for vessels sailing above 20 knots.

Rudder Bulb
The Rudder Bulb is an energy-saving device that reduces rotational losses of the propeller and increases thrust at high loads. It is applicable to all full spade rudder types and offers significant fuel savings.

Engineering and Design Capabilities
Damen Marine Components employs advanced computational methods such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Method (FEM) for hydrodynamic and structural analysis. These methods ensure optimal rudder performance and structural integrity under various conditions.

VAN DER VELDEN ® ATL ANTIC The ATLANTIC rudder is a full-spade rudder that ensures excellent course-keeping with an optimal performance on straight-ahead journeys. With no moving parts and a slim profile, the resistance of this rudder is minimal and is especially suited for high speed vessels. Each rudder profile can be custom-made to match specific vessel requirements.

VAN DER VELDEN ® BARKE ® The BARKE® flap rudder provides a premium manoeuvring performance with over a 100 degree flap angle. It has a progressively moving flap with an enclosed linkage system, which reduces noise levels and provides overload protection. With its extremely large flap angle, the BARKE® rudder ensures a high lift. Due to its enclosed linkage system, the drag of the BARKE® rudder is reduced. This system also eliminates entry risk of sand, floating objects and ice. Premium manoeuvring performance Flap overload protection L ow noise levels during operation Over 100° flap angle Research...

RUDDER TYPE: Van der Velden® ATLANTIC with ART™ and BULB VESSEL NAME: VESSEL TYPE: During the design stage, DMC applies various calculation and simulation methods: FINITE ELEMENT METHOD (FEM) FEM is a numerical method mainly used for strength calculation of structures under external loads. It is applied to check stress levels and displacements under external loads such as rudder- blades, stocks and trunks. It is also checked with blades of post- or pre-swirl devices. Besides static linear analysis, nonlinear FEM is applied to solving problems such as buckling or structural analysis up to yield...
