 Stabilizing:

To reduce the rolling by providing opposite force.

 Fins:

 Size is governed by ship factors (Breadth, Draft, …).


 Retractable (pivoting or sliding) or fixed.
 They apply righting moment when the ship is inclined. The angle of tilt and resulting moment
are determined by a sensing control system.
 Control of fin is automatic driven by a hydraulic power unit until ship is brought to rest.
 The control system uses 2 gyroscopes; one for movement and the other for velocity. Fin
movement is a function of (roll angle, roll velocity, roll acceleration and natural list).
 Effectiveness of the fins depends upon the speed of movement.
 Fins are rectangular and streamlined in section.
 No stabilizing when the ship is at rest.
 More used in passenger ships than merchant ships.

 Tanks:

 They are independent of the ship speed.


 They generate righting or anti-rolling force from the delayed flow of fluid in transverse tanks at
suitable heights and distances from CL.
 As ship rolls, water move after a few degrees.
 When the ship finish and will be about to turn, the still moving water will oppose the return roll.
 The system is passive, because the water flow is activated by gravity.
 Wing tank height permits a large water build-up and great moment.
 Level of water must not fill the tank.
 Tanks are connected by cross ducts, ducts contain valves operate by sensing device due to the
differential air pressure.
