Since September 1, LOEWE MARINE has been exhibiting at SMM in Hamburg—Hall B3, Ground Floor, Booth 204. Four days of one-on-one discussions about fully hydroplaning rudder systems, rudder mechanisms, and wake equalizing ducts.

To kick off the trade show, HANSA Verlag published a detailed article about our work on maneuvering systems for naval vessels in the first issue of the “SMM Daily Newswire.” “Don’t let just anyone take the helm” covers the eight full-hover rudder systems for four MEKO® A-200 frigates built in Germany and the special full-hover rudder systems with differential-cylinder steering gear for the Brazilian Navy’s Tamandaré program.

“We are thrilled about this perfect start to SMM 2026 and that our maneuvering systems are receiving so much positive attention,” says founder and naval architect Carsten Löhmer. “We look forward to four days of the trade show filled with fruitful discussions in Hamburg.”
