The process of installing a flap rudder

2 min

Here we have our open linkage flap rudder being installed under a 7.000 DWT cargo vessel. The photos show a part of the installation process where the rudder stock is assembled through the steering gear deck and subsequently fixed to the front end of the rudder blade. Depending on the size and weight of the rudder, it is a relatively fast process, yet it must be performed with utmost precision to ensure a correct assembly of the rudder and steering gear.  Our Timon rudder has an open linkage flap mechanism and a side bar system, which allows for a total rudder angle of 90°.
