SOLAS 1997,chapter V, Regulation 19-2.
United Nations
Class rules
These are rules set by the class
companies
Such as:
And others
Speed of rudder
For regular ships the rudder
must be able to turn
minimum 35 degrees to
each sides. To meet the
rules concerning rudder
angle velocity, the rudder
must be able to turn from
35 degrees to 30 degrees on
the other side in maximum
28 seconds. This is called
the minimum angle velocity.
