Basics: Trim & Stability – Stiff vs. Tender Ships ⚓ Let’s make stability simple: It all comes down to your ship’s GM (Metacentric Height). ✅ Tender Ship – Low GM – Short righting lever – Rolls slowly but more dangerously – Less stable in rough seas ✅ Stiff Ship – High GM – Long righting lever – Quick, sharp rolls – Feels stable but uncomfortable Balance is key! Too tender = unsafe. Too stiff = stressful for crew & cargo. Know your GM. Understand your behavior. Stay stable out there! #TrimAndStab

Ship stabilization systems enhance stability and reduce motion by counteracting forces that cause rolling, pitching, or yawing. The corrective action involves altering the angle of attack of the fins or adjusting the fluid level in the tanks, rotating gyroscopes. Fluid Tanks : They are often referred to as active stabilizer fins or anti-roll tanks. They work by using adjustable fluid levels within the tanks to counteract the ship's motion and stabilize it. When the ship rolls, the fluid is trans
