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.

DMC (Retrofit) Rudder Bulb
The DMC rudder bulb is an energy saving device that improves the propeller wake field. In operation, the bulb will reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
The rudder bulb reduces rotational losses of the propeller an increases thrust at high loads.

BOSS
The BOSS is able to calculate the rudder forces for specific angles, which are not measured or displayed by any of the ship’s navigation systems.
The BARKE® rudder is the solution if you are looking to invest in today and tomorrow.
