Van der Velden present at SEATEC |
| January 6 2010, Van der Velden Marine |
The Yachting division of Van der Velden® Marine Systems will exhibit at Seatec 2010, the 8th International Exhibition of Technologies, Subcontracting and Design for Boat, Megayachts and Ship Builders in Carrara, Italy (10 – 12 February 2010). Van der Velden can be found at the stand of Navaltecnica, our agent in Italy (Pavillion E, Line 38-39, Booth 1195).
Navaltecnica serves and supports customers buying Van der Velden manoeuvring systems, rudders, steering gear and EPS™ thrusters. The stand will showcase a prototype of the revolutionary EPS™ thruster and the popular BARKE® rudder.
Van der Velden Marine Systems is a major supplier of hydraulic integrated systems to superyachts. The benefits of its BARKE® rudder typifies the added value offered by a Van der Velden solution: maximum manoeuvrability, optimal comfort, smooth cruising and low noise levels. High-lift manoeuvring equipment such as the BARKE® rudder is also very suitable and efficient for meeting the requirements of modern yachts with Dynamic Positioning systems.
The Van der Velden® ATLANTIC rudder is a no-nonsense, ultra-reliable conventional rudder with excellent course-keeping qualities. The absence of moving parts significantly increases its life-span and the ATLANTIC rudder is also renowned for its low drag and low vibration.
The new Van der Velden COMMANDER™ rotary vane steering gear incorporates the second generation of compact rudder actuators designed by Paul Wagner. The advanced sealing technology prevents internal leakage and offers a greatly extended seal life. The simple, robust and compact design of the steering gear and the fact that it only has one movable part ensures trouble-free and maintenance-free operation.
The revolutionary EPS™ Silent thruster, which is also available in a retractable version, represents a breakthrough in the fields of noise levels, low weight, space saving and comfort. The success of the EPS™ Side Tunnel thruster led to the development of a propulsion variant, the EPS™ Azimuthing Retractable thruster, which can also be deployed as a main propeller.
