Stabilize Your Offshore Assets
Since 1985, Quantum has been the world leader in Zero Speed™ Stabilization and has been installed on 1200+ vessels with the latest marine stabilization technology.
From ensuring safe passage of assets on ferries to passenger comfort aboard cruise ships, commercial ship stabilizers have become an absolute industry necessity. Quantum has been stabilizing vessels from cruise ships to military platforms and private yachts for over four decades, and is the industry leader in Zero Speed™ technology. All Quantum Systems are completely bespoke and ensure perfect stability at sea specific to your vessel.
Quantum Systems provide roll reduction and comfort control for commercial vessels ranging in size from 40m – 200m / 131’ – 656’. With a complete range of stabilizing solutions available, including Quantum Zero Speed™, commercial vessels benefit from a safer and more comfortable experience while ensuring more profitable operations. Read on to learn more about our systems and the benefits of stabilization systems on commercial ships.
Lindblad Expeditions contracted to build the 73m (238′) National Geographic Cruise Ship, Venture in 2017. She was built by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders of Freeland, Washington and features a pair of MAGLift™ ML460 Rotors for stabilization. Venture cruises to Alaska, British Columbia, California Coast and Baja California and can accommodate up to 100 passengers.
David Packard is a 50 meter (164′) oceanographic research vessel. She was completed by the Freire Shipyard in 2022, and commissioned by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in the US.
Increased crew safety, onboard productivity, reduced fatigue and overall improved onboard comfort.
Proper stabilizers reduce downtime due to the ability to cruise in more severe weather and operate at a higher sea state.
Minimize the risk of damage to equipment, structure and cargo.
Quantum’s systems lead to increased operational efficiency and fuel savings of up to 80%.
From course keeping and passage making to refueling at a higher sea state.
Vessels with active fin or rotor systems carry a higher value upon resale.
Ideal for Zero Speed™ to 14 Knots
Based upon the “Magnus Effect,” a phenomenon where a rotating cylinder creates lift (stabilization) proportional to the speed and direction of the rotation. It is perfect for slow/loitering speed or zero speed™ applications, delivering precise stabilization.
A Sustainable Solution to Power Stabilizers
The F45 electric/hydraulic hybrid power system features up to 80% power savings in underway and 60% in Zero Speed mode. Its proprietary flywheel technology delivers remarkable energy buffering, leading to power and fuel savings.
The most Advanced Stabilizer Control to Date
The new 5000S control technology is built on a modular platform, giving it the ability to support old, current and future control generations.
Understanding your options is key in making an informed decision for your vessel. In this piece, we will review the various types of ship stabilization systems from fin stabilizers to bilge keels and advance your knowledge about the possible solutions for reducing motion.
As a vessel’s most vital structural entity, the hull is precisely designed to fulfill a diverse range of requirements throughout the life of a ship. A vessel’s entire design and construction is centered on the ship’s hull. Learn more about hull design here.
