Rolls-Royce/Kongsberg Maritime ist der weltgrößte Hersteller von Ruderanlagen mit geschätzt 25-30% Marktanteil. Die Rotary-Vane-Bauweise ist die modernste und kompakteste Ruderanlagen-Technologie: 2 oder 4 Flügel (Vanes) in einem zylindrischen Gehäuse erzeugen das Drehmoment direkt. Kein Ruderschaft-Kolben, kein Tillerarm — deutlich weniger bewegliche Teile als Ram-Type. Standard auf modernen Neubauten aller Größen.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
