A method is disclosed for adapting a decommissioned ship, e.g. an oil-tanker, to control rolling for use as a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO). The FPSO bilge keel (8) is made up of two lines of plates, continuous or sectioned, in this case with a small separation between each two adjacent sections, mounted along the bilge of the vessel, one on either side, at right angles to the hull, and is made wider and/or with a greater total length than the bilge keel (5) of the original decommissioned ship. In a preferred embodiment the bilge keel is made up of corrugated plates (7).
