Stern Force Measurement
SAVING FUEL BY REDUCING RUDDER MOVEMENTS
In general, all rudder movements create resistance, which automatically increases fuel consumption. BOSS™ SFM gives insight into the steering behaviour and resistance created by the rudder. It measures the rudder force acting on the vessel. The measured data is send to the SFM display, which is located in the wheelhouse, and can be transferred to the ship’s navigation system.
