July 2011 – A Doppler log is often used to measure the speed of ships: it is a device that measures the ship’s speed in relation to the river/sea bed and/or the water. The Doppler log is mounted in steel flanges that are welded to the bottom of the forward bulwark so that the device is protected and servicing can be carried out without the vessel needing to be in dry dock. De Boer Staal supplied 60 mm grade D steel plate for these flanges. De Boer Snijbedrijf then cut the flanges to size.
