Commissioned by Rook Ruijtenberg (VDL Shipping bv), we equipped the push boat Veerle with new fishtail rudders (type R4), steering gear and tank set.
The Veerle's old installation needed replacing due to intensive use. Our professionals carried out this work in the covered ship lift in just over three weeks. The rudders are positioned directly behind the propeller, so that the water has the same flow on both sides.
Discover all our services: from inspections and certifications, service and repairs to the use of our two unique ship lifts. With our lifts, your ship will be completely dry within ten minutes! Did you know that this can save you relatively expensive slipway costs?
At Machinefabriek De Waal, we have already completed many exciting projects for the various markets we serve: from inland shipping to maritime shipping and from fishing to superyacht construction. Curious? Below you will find an overview of various projects we have recently completed.
We equip many new-build ships directly with our innovative Easyflow rudder system, but did you know that you can also come to us for your existing ship? We can achieve significant fuel savings or speed gains for you. We have already converted more than a hundred existing ships. Will your ship be next?
We are a family business and proud of it. Founded in 1938 by Ko de Waal and now managed by the third and fourth generations of the De Waal family. Craftsmanship, a desire to excel and a willingness to invest the money earned have made this company a household name in Dutch and European shipbuilding.
