Provided is a rudder assembly producing significant thrust to reduce energy consumption of vessels during voyage. The rudder assembly is formed of first/second rudder units arranged on both sides of first/second propellers. As seen from rear, each first/second rudder unit is formed of left/right rudders arranged on the left/right of the first/second propeller. Each left/right rudder of the first/second rudder units is formed of a first left/right rudder portion extending in the right-left direction, a second left/right rudder portion curved from the left/right end of the first left/right rudder portion toward lower left/right, and a third left/right rudder portion extending downwards from the lower end of the second left/right rudder portion. The first left/right rudder portions of the first/second rudder unit are arranged spaced upwardly apart from the upper edge of the tip circle of the first/second propeller for a distance of 10-20% of the diameter of the first/second propeller.
