Tank stabilisation

The passive controlled stabiliser is based on a U-shaped system half filled with water. Side tanks are connected by a water cross duct and air cross duct(s) are installed for air exchange between side tanks. Stabiliser valves are integrated into the air cross duct.


Intering tank stabilisers are effective even at low speed

The controlled part of the system is the 'active' influence of system control together with the stabiliser valves by cyclic blocking of tank water on the upwards moving ship side to adapt the tank period the actual ship’s roll period.

Features and benefits

  • Space between U-shape tank system can be utilised
  • Fully automatic system
  • Tank water filling is constant for all loading conditions
  • System maintenance is reduced to a minimum
  • 30 years proven system reliability
