Ship stabilization technology a feature used for energy efficiency

Abstract

From this article the reader can find information regarding ship stabilization technology. Types of stabilization system, comparison between different types of gyrostabilizers, the technical features that differentiate modern marine gyrostabilizer products, advantages and disadvantages of active stabilizers. Shipping is one of the world’s most polluting industries. More than 90000 ships which are crossing the oceans each year, using classical propulsion, are burning nearly two billion barrels of fossil fuels. As a result, is the belch out of large quantities of polluting emissions into the air, principally in the form of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, which have been steadily rising and endangering human health especially on the principle shipping routes. They create between 2 and 3 per cent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming. In order to decrease the amount of burning fuel for the navy industry, it appeared the ship stabilization technology, which helps the ship to reduce the rolling created by wind and waves, so it will reduce the quantity of burn fuel and last but not least will reduce the polluting emissions, in the same time for the owners increasing the economic efficiency of the ship.
