ESCOBIÑAS WEEK - 12 Use of stabilizer •Ship stabilizers (or stabilizers) are fins or rotors mounted beneath the waterline and emerging laterally from the hull to reduce a ship's roll due to wind or waves. ... When the gyroscope senses the ship roll, it changes the fins' angle of attack to exert force to counteract the roll. •The function of a fin stabilizer, found at the bottom part of the ship’s hull, is to provide resistance to the excess rolling of ship in either direction. Many seafarers have not seen a real fin stabilizer until the ship goes to dry dock for hull inspection and surveys. This does not rule out the knowledge that every onboard engineer and officer must posses regarding the components and functioning of fin stabilizer system. •How Stabilisers Reduce A Ship's Roll • Ship stabilizer Components •1. Two fins forming part of the hull structure of the ship, one port and one starboard. •These fins are connected to fin stabilizer room on port and starboard sides of t
