The GATE RUDDER consists of two uniquely shaped rudders placed in parallel either side of the propeller instead of placing behind the propeller, which reduces resistance of rudder and create thrust to improve the energy consumption of 14% during the sea trial of the vessel.
ADVANTAGE: Comparatively high energy saving, Excellent course keeping and turning performance, Enhance silence
MECHANISM: Reducing resistance of rudder, Suppressing cavitation, Counter-steering
SAFETY: Crabbing mode made Turn around & Move horizontally available. Even if one side of rudder is out of order, vessel could turn around even with only one rudder blade working f normally. This is completely new type of rudder system developed by new concept.
Kamome Propeller Co., Ltd. which is a major ship's propulsion and maneuvering systems manufacturer has been established in 1924,
and it has passed 100 years since our foundation.
Our headquarters are located in Yokohama, Japan.
We have delivered more than 5,400 units of Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) until now.
This record shows we are one of the best companies which have the best delivery record all over the world.
Nor is CPP all of us.
Even regarding side thruster, we have more than 4,500 units of delivery record, and its reliability and robustness are
highly supported by international customers.
Recently, we have developed Gate Rudder System successfully.
It has got attention as epoch-making energy saving device.
