The Hinze™ Conventional Rudders are the result
of years of experience in ship design and hydrodynamics.
Key characteristics are reliability, excellent manoeuvring
and low life cycle cost. Rudders are produced as full
spade rudders with three standard profiles to ensure
optimal manoeuvring for various types of vessel.

Hinze conventional rudders: The CB rudder for lower
speed, the CM rudder for medium speed, the CS rudder
for higher speed
Features and benefits
- Easy installation
- Easy maintenance
- Custom built to fit hull
- Optimal performance
- Suits all steering gear
Rudder type CB is designed for lower speeds. A bulbous
profile and large vane end plates improve low speed
manoeuvrability. Type CM is designed for medium speeds.
The profile is optimised to provide good manoeuvrability
with propulsive efficiency, with a tapered or rectangular
blade. The Type CS is designed for higher speeds. The
slim profile increases overall propulsive efficiency
and reduces cavitation risk. The blade is tapered with
rounded corners.
