With targeting of reducing operating costs and improving the environmental sustainability of the shipping industry – across all vessel classes –the Gate Rudder System (GRS) is proving to be a remarkable energy saving concept with excellent manoeuvrability. This EU-funded GATERS project will demonstrate the benefits of this system and why it can become the next-generation propulsion and steering system for waterborne transport.
This poster introduces the tests and trails conducted with the GRS system, highlights its benefits.
