What is rudder carrier?

Rudder carrier is the general name of the bearing device fixed to the hull to support the rudder.

Rudder carrier is mainly used to support the weight of the rudder rod and rudder, and to ensure that the hull is watertight.

Rudder carrier can be divided into upper rudder bearing and lower rudder bearing. 

The upper rudder carrier is usually located on the deck between the steering engines, while the lower rudder carrier is installed in the rudder cylinder or in the rudder cylinder.

Large ships usually have only a rudder bearing because all the weight and force is carried by it.
