The Rudder Angle Indicator is a real-time display instrument used to show the rudder angle with high precision.
Monitoring the rudder angle is crucial for:
Controlling the vessel’s direction, as it directly affects the ship’s course.
Performing maneuvers, especially when navigating in confined areas such as ports or canals.
Assessing resistance and performance, since any deviation of the rudder from the midship position changes water flow and affects the vessel’s response.
This instrument is an essential component of navigation and control systems, providing operators with immediate, accurate information about the rudder’s position — enhancing steering precision, operational safety, and overall vessel handling.
