At the time of the Nor-Shipping, the use of all ducts previously delivered will have lowered CO2 by more[ds_preview] than 1.4 mill. t. »The Becker Mewis Duct has not been a successful product for Becker Marine Systems alone. It is also contributing towards the global objective of enhanced sustainability in the shipping industry«, the company says. The Becker Twisted Fin is also being presented at the trade fair. The company recently received new orders for 20 of these nozzles that are also energy saving devices. The expertise of the global market leader for high-performance rudders with manoeuvring systems is underscored by the current order for the largest fin rudder in the world measuring 78.5 m2. It will provide a 19,200 TEU container ship optimal manoeuvring capabilities, even at a length of 400 m and a width of just under 60 m.
In addition to rudder and energy-saving solutions, Becker Marine Systems’ business areas also include the external supply of power (»cold ironing«) based on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to ships lying at port. The LNG Hybrid Barge will begin supplying power to cruise ships at the Port of Hamburg. In future, Becker Marine Systems would like to offer this environmentally-friendly LNG technology not only to cruise ships, but to container ships, bulkers and tankers as well.
