Damen Marine Components Van der Velden® FLEX Flanking Rudder
Technical Specification
- Make: Damen Marine Components
- Model code: FLEX
When sailing ahead the FLEX Flanking rudders are not operational, and are therefore retracted into the vessel hull. This minimises resistance, which results in significant fuel savings. When sailing backwards, the FLEX Flanking rudders can easily be deployed to generate extra manoevring power. Advantages: Fuel savings with forward operations when retracted High manoeuvrability with backward operations when extended Best suitable for inland pusher tugs with barges
