Cross-section of the Hinze conventional rudder type CB

Conventional rudders

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.
