STEERING GEAR SYSTEMS | KINGS MARINE

Custom steering solutions, built and certified in-house

From standard tugs to DP-integrated offshore vessels, KINGS Marine designs, manufactures, and classes steering systems for small to medium-sized vessels.

TYPES OF STEERING SYSTEMS

Steering gear systems, built to your requirements

Core hydraulic and electric steering gear systems, plus the interfaces that connect them to your bridge.

CORE SYSTEM

Electro-Hydraulic Steering

Electric power pack paired with hydraulic cylinders.
Designed and manufactured in-house in Singapore for precise, remote-ready control. 
Our standard steering system.​​

CORE SYSTEM

Hydraulic Steering

Direct hydraulic control, no electronics in the loop.

Simple, cost-effective, and easy to maintain.

CORE SYSTEM

Independent Steering

Also known as hydraulic synchronisation.
Runs multiple rudders in sync without a mechanical tie-rod, for vessels that need independent rudder tuning.​

ADD ONS

DP1/DP2 Interface

Connects your steering gear to Dynamic Positioning systems, so vessels holding DP1 or DP2 class notation steer within spec.

ADD ONS

Autopilot Interface

Ties into your heading/autopilot system for hands-off course-keeping on long transits.

ADD ONS

JSDP (Joystick + DP)

Joystick-driven maneuvering linked to DP, built for close-quarters work like docking and station-keeping.

Proven track record with the following IS Classes
