Excellent manoeuvring

Welcome to Europe's leading rudder specialist. For decades, we have been manufacturing high-quality ship rudders under our own Stuwa© label.

These perfectly manoeuvrable rudders are characterised by their sleek appearance and sophisticated, optimal design. This ensures that your ship is highly manoeuvrable, optimally manoeuvres and runs quickly. De Waal is one of Europe's largest rudder manufacturers. We develop and manufacture for our own continent and sell worldwide. Various rudders are built every day in our assembly hall using state-of-the-art machinery. High quality

The rudders of the steering gear are perhaps the most important components in a ship's propulsion process. De Waal therefore employs a unique quality system with fixed production procedures. This ensures that every rudder that leaves the factory is of the same high quality and reliability.

Our rudders are sold in all possible markets. From superyachts to offshore and from high-speed workboats to inland vessels.

De Waal is the rudder specialist in the Netherlands.
