New orders for Becker Marine Systems

Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard has placed an order for the Becker Performance Package, which compromises a Becker Twist Rudder with Rudder Bulb and Becker Mewis Duct. The deal with the shipyard in Korea is for nine 14,000 teu container ships.

This comes after the company struck a deal to equip ten 2,800 teu container ships from the Imbari Shipbuilding shipyard in Japan with the Becker Twist Rudder with Rudder Bulb.

As well as these contracts, the New Times Shipbuilding shipyard in China has also ordered Becker’s Mewis Duct product to be fitted on 14 of their Suezmax tankers.

Becker Mewis Duct’s installations to date are said to have lowered CO₂ emissions by approximately 2.8m tonnes worldwide.
