The excellent manoeuvrability of a ship is the key factor for a safe and reliable ship handling. Passenger ships with their special freight require the best rudders to handle critical weather conditions from winds and currents. Missed destinations of a cruise voyage are leaving passengers with an unsatisfactory holiday experience. Therefore, Becker Marine Systems empowers the future of sustainable maintained passenger ships.

“I have been sailing on many vessels and seen their manoeuvring performance before and after a Becker Flap Rudder conversion. The results are impressive and have changed the entire ship handling. No doubt that flap rudders enhance the safety and reliability of every passenger ship.”
Ben Lodemann, Elbe River Pilot

With the invention and – over 75 years – of experience in building flap rudders, our team has exceptional expertise in optimizing the manoeuvrability of ships. When it comes to conversions, our designers work out individual rudder designs to assure the best structural integration of a propulsive optimized rudder blade. Projects can be realized within 6 months instead of the usual time period of about 9 months – without missing out on quality.

Our service and maintenance team is working from 4 locations worldwide to supervise our customers’ conversions. Moreover, they solve any rudder issues, any time, any place. Maintenance by Becker is an investment into the safety of each ship. Our trained service engineers arrange the work needed to assure a safe ship handling and a rudder emerging in one piece during next dry docking.

“During a variety of projects, during my time at B+V Repair and today, in the role of shipyard representative, I have always appreciated the cooperation with BMS. Solution-oriented and reliable - I always feel good about recommending the expertise of Becker Marine Systems.”
