"Mariner Schilling Rudder
" is a registered trademark held by Japan Hamworthy & Co., Ltd.

The specification, design, etc. described in this catalog may be altered without a notice for improvement.
Model tests were carried out at the Osaka University and the Akashi
Ship Model Basin Co., Ltd. with respect to the case that a "Mariner Schilling Rudder"
is applied to a 260,000DWT type tanker.
Tank
Tests
A "Mariner Schilling Rudder" is very excellent in turning performance,
compared with a conventional Mariner type rudder. Particularly, it
showed extremely good performance in turning at 65 rudder angle.
A "Mariner Schilling Rudder" showed very high values both in lift
coefficient and drag coefficient, compared with a conventional
Mariner type rudder, except smaller drag coefficient in a neutral zone.
Required propulsive horsepower at the test is as shown in the table,
and it was proved that, even in case that a "Mariner Schilling
Rudder" is adopted, its required propulsive horsepower is nearly
equal to that of a conventional Mariner type rudder. Furthermore, an
additional test where trailing edge angle of a "Mariner Schilling
Rudder" is made as 5 ("Ocean Mariner Schilling Rudder") showed
that the required propulsive horsepower is less than that of a
conventional Mariner type rudder.

Turning Test
Prototype of Models
In both 10 and 20 zigzag maneuver tests, it was proved that a
"Mariner Schilling Rudder" shows smaller overshoot angle than a
conventional Mariner type rudder, and thus it is excellent in course
stability.

An Increasing Demand for Schilling Rudders
A Schilling rudder is a rudder in special shape, having
sectional profile of fish-tail-like trailing edge. This rudder
remarkably improves ship's maneuverability and course
keeping quality without any propulsive loss, and
significantly contributes to safety and economy of ships.
Schilling Rudders have established high appraisal in Japan,
and have already been installed on board more than 2,000
vessels. Recently, maneuverability of large blocky vessels
comes into question, and importance of Schilling Rudders
is steadily rising.
Development of a "Mariner Schilling Rudder
"
In case of a hanging rudder, rudder stock diameter becomes
large for large vessels or high speed vessels. By this reason,
development of a Schilling Rudder of Mariner type has been
demanded. Japan Hamworthy & Co., Ltd. succeeded in
development of "Mariner Schilling Rudders", in which
investigation was given to rudder in terms of performance
and construction, under subsidy from the Ship & Ocean
Foundation in 1993 and 1994. The "Mariner Schilling
Rudders" have been installed on board such vessels as a high
speed container ship (188m, 24kts), roll-on/roll-off ships, a
supply ship of the Defense Agency, 145,000m
3
LNG carrier,
etc., and obtained good results in their actual operation.
A "Mariner Schilling Rudder" is such that
sectional profile of a movable part of a
Mariner type rudder is made as that of a
Schilling Rudder. So to say, it is a Schilling
Rudder having a rudder horn.
(The below illustration shows sectional profile of a "Mariner
Schilling Rudder" and a conventional Mariner type rudder.)
Compared with a conventional Mariner type
rudder, a "Mariner Schilling Rudder" exhibits
remarkably high lift coefficient, and at the
same time, high drag coefficient when the
rudder is turned. Accordingly, it gives excellent
maneuverability. On the other hand, there is
little difference between both in drag
coefficient in a neutral rudder angle zone.
Like a case of a Schilling Rudder, it is sufficient
for a "Mariner Schilling Rudder" to have such
rudder dimension as to catch and deflect a
propeller slip stream. Accordingly, it is possible
to reduce a rudder area. Despite of a reduced
rudder area, a "Mariner Schilling Rudder" still
has remarkable maneuverability, course keeping
quality and yaw quick respond ability.
