The Dutch company will be presenting its TIMON rudder and ESPAC energy saving package at the exhibition.

The TIMON rudder, which is a flap type rudder with slide-bar flap linkage, is suitable for medium speed vessels that require high maneuvering performance according to the company.

The ESPAC energy saving package consists of a propulsion package which is tailor-made to meet customer requirements. Last year Van der Velden Marine Systems and Mecklenburger Metallguss GmbH (MMG) founded a partnership to combine their knowledge and develop a highly effective and efficient propulsion package.
