Fin Stabilizer Operations Training – Course Details

This course provides an overview of typical Quantum fin stabilizer operations, and delivers both theory and operational knowledge providing operators with a well-rounded, practical knowledge of Quantum stabilizer systems.

We cover:

  • The effect of operations on ship roll behavior
  • Principles in fin forces
  • Operation of Quantum’s stabilizer controllers
  • Hydraulic system operation and component identification
  • Electrical system operation and component identification
  • Integrated hydraulic systems
  • Onboard maintenance tasks
  • Extendable (XT Fin™) systems
  • Practice in system troubleshooting as time permits

 

Who should attend?

Captains, engineers, and yacht crew who are interested in learning more about operating the Quantum fin-type stabilizer systems. Experience onboard a ship with Quantum stabilizers is advantageous, but not required.
