bartman Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 that thing has a massive stabilisation system to keep it steady, being on a RN ship the front end goes under then the back end strap yourself in your bed nice and safe haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 that thing has a massive stabilisation system to keep it steady, being on a RN ship the front end goes under then the back end strap yourself in your bed nice and safe haha Stabalisers (one each side btw, so not a MASSIVE system) are only good to a certain point. And have been proven to actually worsen a roll when waves strike at a certain frequency. And since that vid looks parametric rolling, stabalisers wouldn't help.

I work on things that large. Not all storms can be avoided. And google parametric rolling......the larger (beamier) a vessel, the worse it is. It can occur any time the wave frequency is just right. I've experienced it on a 70,000 ton container ship up near Flemish Cap. We did nearly $1million damage to the ship in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mental image of that, the containers ready to spill off the side? cannot have been fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
