SELECTION AND EVALUATION OF SHIP ROLL STABILIZATION SYSTEMS

This paper describes procedures for the selection and evaluation of ship roll stabilization systems. Passive tanks, bilge keels, activated fins and rudder roll stabilization are described, with combined active and passive systems included. The paper is intended to assist vessel designers and operators in deciding whether roll stabilization is cost effective and which system provides the maximum benefit. It reviews the establishment of stabilizer design criteria and procedures for stabilization system selection, including cost benefit analyses of specific cases.
