stern fender
I know this from serving in Norwegian ships.
It is often made of thick coiled rope.
Berit's explanation is nearly there, but it is not solely to protect the rudder, more the after parts in general. Furthermore it is usually a separate item rather than being a rope around the stern.

Stern fender is still the best translation, but context may need reconsideration.

rope stern fender
'Akterbroker' refer to the rope that goes around the rear of the boat to protect the rudder.
Example sentence:
Traditional working narrowboats had a bow fender made of rope coiled around a core which might be a section of folded motor tyre, and rope stern fenders to protect the rudder.
Discussion
The word 'fender' is also used in Norwegian - from what I understand, 'akterbrok' is just one type of 'fender', i.e. a rope that goes around the rear of the boat.
Having considered the whole sentence, this really requires more context.
Akterbroker here could refer to an integrated "fender piece" built into the stern of the ship, i.e. acting like a rope fender, but permanently there. Then the whole sentence could be translated as:
'The main deck plate, after deckplate and fender piece are constructed of a steel/wood combination to prevent lines fraying...."
