Products & Systems
Impressive rudder angles
Open and close flap mechanism
One of our flagship products is the Barke® rudder. The Barke® rudder is ideal for dredging vessels, thanks to its gradually increasing flap angle which results in an impressive rudder angle of up to 100⁰. The unique closed flap mechanism of the Barke® rudder prevents sand and particles ingress and contact with floating objects or ice, resulting in minimal wear and tear – qualities that are highly sought after in the dredging industry.
One-stop-shop
At DMC, we combine our expertise in heavy-duty steering systems, high-lift rudders and energy-saving systems such as the Boss™ Eco, to provide a one-stop-shop for the dredging industry. Whether you require new builds or refits, we have the solutions to meet your needs.
