GATERS has completed the installation of a Voyage monitoring system on board of our target vessel MV Erge for which the retrofit Gate Rudder system will be installed Autumn 2022. The system will collect performance data before and after the Gate Rudder system installation. #H2020

We have finalized our preliminary Gate Rudder design for our target vessel. We are currently conducting self propulsion towing tank tests with a 4m model to validate and confirm CFD predictions. #engineering #sustainableshipping #marinepropulsion #GateRudder #Hydrodynamics #EEXI

Preliminary results show 14.9% reduction in terms of the required thrust at the full load condition of the vessel at the design speed of 12knots when compared with the conventional rudder system. #hydrodynamics #EEXI #ESD #ITTC2021
