Full spade rudders with asymmetric leading edge and bulb in the wake of the propeller to further enhance flow along the rudder and reduce turbulence, will enable considerable fuel savings for the six new 7,100 TEU container vessels that Asiatic Lloyd aims to take in operation from early 2023.

Here we have a beautiful shot of our TIMON rudder, a flap type rudder with an open linkage mechanism and side bar system.

Knowing exactly when the bearing bush needs replacement will mitigate risk of unexpected downtime. Renewal can be performed during scheduled docking, hereby optimising service planning, minimising maintenance costs and assuring operational safety.

Last week, we equipped this newbuild cruise ship (251 x 32m) with two new rudders. Our delivery includes two Van der Velden® TIMON flap rudders, which is an excellent choice for cruise vessels.

Say hello to one of the heaviest hydraulic power units DMC has ever produced. These systems were built for a vessel series consisting of four identical Logistic Support Ships for a Navy located in Europe.

The mechanics at DMC are always committed to getting the ship (back) in operation, in any place and at any time.

In the first quarter of 2022, MV Moorea and MV Messina, Universe Shipping's two new inland tankers with a shallow water design by RensenDriessen Shipbuilding, will enter service.

Damen Marine Components (DMC) has been awarded the contract for Optima nozzles, plug & play Piston-type steering gear and TIMON flap rudders for four coasters being built by Thecla Bodewes Shipyards (TB Shipyards).

One of the optional features for our range of nozzles is Nozzle Cooling, which is developed to cool the low temperature systems of the main engines.

We often build and transport unconfigured steering gear systems. The reason for this is simply because of the available (entry) space, which differs per vessel.
