Create High safety operation

GATERUDDER®SYSTEM create excellent safety
Location of the rudder blades on crabbing mode made turn around at a point and move horizontally available.

Crabbing mode made Turn around & Move horizontally Available

By crabbing mode of GATE RUDDER®, one of standard modes, which two rudder blades are turned behind the propeller, vessel could be turned around on the spot and also move horizontally. If vessel operate bow thruster together with crabbing mode, it is easier to birthing and unberthing in the harbor.

Even if one side of rudder is out of order, vessel could turn around even with only one rudder blade working normally.

Turning test of MV SHINKO installed GATE RUDDER® (working one rudder blade only)
Structural design considering safety

In order to have safe and appropriate structure, FEM is applied for the calculation. the strength calculation of the rudder (rudder blade and rudder stock) has been approved by Class NK.

*By newly dedicated Auto pilot, the vessel equipped GATE RUDDER@ could be maneuvered in the same way as other vessels with ordinary rudder

Auto pilot (dedicated by Tokyo Keiki Inc.) controls two rudder blades to have best performance of the vessel operation.

The crew of the vessel (installed GATE RUDDER@) can operate the vessel without any special feeling because of two rudder blades to reduce the stressof
the crew.

Auto pilot PR-9000-GT specially dedicated for GATE RUDDER@ SYSTEM
  • To optimize rudder angle of GATE RUDDER
  • Dial switch for the crabbing mode is applicable
