A ship stabilising apparatus comprising means to stabilise a ship by the tilting of fins extended therefrom, said fins being operable to apply anti-rolling forces, anti-pitching forces or forces which are an integration of anti-rolling forces and anti-pitching forces, said forces being modulated to suit the ship's immediate stabilising requirements and said tilting to be timed to avoid the application of pro-oscillatory forces to the ship and said fins in special circumstances being controllable to apply continuously to the ship about its rolling axis a clockwise or an anti-clockwise torque. |
