Single cast rudder in either manganese bronze or nickel aluminium bronze. this single cast rudders are basically one piece which means there is no separate upper and lower stock. The rudder is casted as a single piece and later machined out in our CNC machine shop.

Fabricated single plate or streamlined NACA shape rudders are manufactured and welded in stainless steel or mild steel. Since these rudders are made using plates it will be lighter in weight when compared with Single cast rudders. All welding is carried out by Class Society approved welders.
