Stork Kwant's Launches New Products

April 2, 2003

Stork Kwant creates nautical instrumentation and control systems — with products ranging from rotating and speed control units (RSCU), control units for pitch and/or rpm and rudder angle indicators — for seagoing vessels, such as ferries, cruise liners, tug boats and dredgers, as well as military vessels.

Stork's integrated bridge system (IBS), control panels and other systems are found on a variety of ships worldwide, and both Norwegian Star and Norwegian Dawn equipped with the latest developed Stork Kwant control units of the type RSCU Mark-3 Star. These units transmit the signals of speed and azimuth to the ABB Azipods, and for each operating position on the bridge, the control units RSCU Mark-3 Star have been installed.

Stork Kwant has launched a new, redesigned electric shaft system, type ELAS-4, which is a technologically-driven redesign of the present electric shaft systems manufactured by Stork Kwant for more than 25 years.

Two new types of rotating and speed control units (RSCU) have also been introduced, the RSCU-3 Star, which is a custom made unit in a complete new shape, and the Mark 4, which is a small unit with the sizes 96 x 96 mm. Also, a small type control unit type BUK-G has been launched. Designed especially for application onboard yachts, this device is available in a variety of colors.
