Abstract
An active roll stabilisation system for ships is described. The system comprises a rotatable stabilisation element extending below the ship's water line on a side of the ship, sensor means for sensing the ship's movements and delivering control signals on the basis thereof to driving means for rotatably driving the stabilisation element for the purpose of damping the ship's movements that are being sensed, as well as moving means for moving the stabilisation element with respect to the ship. The rotatable stabilisation element can only rotate in one direction.
