GATERS has completed the installation of a Voyage monitoring system on board of our target vessel MV Erge for which the retrofit Gate Rudder system will be installed Autumn 2022. The system will collect performance data before and after the Gate Rudder system installation. #H2020

We have finalized our preliminary Gate Rudder design for our target vessel. We are currently conducting self propulsion towing tank tests with a 4m model to validate and confirm CFD predictions. #engineering #sustainableshipping #marinepropulsion #GateRudder #Hydrodynamics #EEXI

@gatersproject had its first General Assembly meeting and a consortium of over 30 participants presented and engaged on the different Work Packages that will be undertaken in the coming years to design and install a retrofit Gate Rudder System. #project #design #engineering

Gaters has reached 6 months milestone and it has been a busy one. Read our first newsletter here: gatersproject.com/news/2021/gate…

GATERS is in the process of demonstrating the first retrofit application of a novel propulsion and manoeuvring device for ships, called “Gate Rudder System”. Formed of 18 partners across 9 countries including technology experts and prime stakeholders including the patent holder.

Gaters Project partner Istanbul Technical University has started their #gaterudder System Model Tests. Watch this space for the test results. #engineering #research #H2020

Preliminary results show 14.9% reduction in terms of the required thrust at the full load condition of the vessel at the design speed of 12knots when compared with the conventional rudder system. #hydrodynamics #EEXI #ESD #ITTC2021

GATERS project Coordinator @UniStrathclyde NAOME have developed #CFD simulation procedures for the full-scale performance prediction of a ship retrofitted with GRS. #H2020

We are pleased to announce the launch of the GATERS project which will see the ‘gate rudder’ retro-fitted to a commercial vessel as part of a trial. Discover more at gatersproject.com/news/2021/6m-p… #H2020
