BOSS™ SFM measures the rudder force acting on a sailing ship. The measured values are displayed on a touch panel on the bridge and can be transferred to the ship's navigation system.
In general, all rudder movements create resistance, which increases fuel consumption. The BOSS™ SFM gives you insight in your steering behaviour and the resistance created by the rudder.
With this real-time data one can improve the course of the ship by reducing rudder movements. This results in significant fuel savings and improved manoeuvrability.
BOSS™ SFM complies with the classification requirements.
