The recent news that, as of November 7th 2015, DMS Holland has fully switched over to its own, in-house developed, rotor stabilization system MagnusMaster has been very well received by the market. No less than six systems have already been sold within the two weeks since MagnusMaster’s introduction. In addition to the five newbuild projects which include an Aquanaut Andante 438 OC, a Linssen GS 590, a Sturier 520, a Jetten 44 Sedan and a Steeler NG 5, Wim van der Valk has also ordered the first MagnusMaster system to be used for a refit project which will be installed on a 15 meter vessel.
Here are just a few of the improvements compared to existing rotor systems:
