Simplex Fin Stabilizers
Retractable Fin Stabilizers, Type S
Our retractable Simplex-Compact fin stabilizers provide an ideal solution for many kinds of merchant vessels, such as ferries, cruise ships and yachts.
For vessels with a low to medium service speed and a demand for high roll reduction performance, we have developed a special tail flap which increases the roll reduction efficiency up to 15% compared with conventional two-part fin stabilizers. This so-called Ultra High Lift Fin is protected by an international patent.
Benefits:
- Compact and proven design
- Equipped with the Anti-Vortex-Tip
- Ecodyn hydraulic power system for a highly dynamic response without peaks in demand
- Fin box fitted with a flow-off recess to minimize the flow resistance
- Unit is delivered ready for operation
- Fitted with rotary vane actuators for powerful and reliable operation
- Easy handling with intuitive operating elements
- Wear-resistant sensors to register the ship movements

Simplex Retractable Fin Stabilizer type Z
The best of both worlds - stabilization underway and at zero speed
Since the 1960's Blohm + Voss Industies has supplied high efficiency retractable fin stabilizers to different kinds of vessels worldwide.
The Type Z fin stabilizer has been specially designed and developed for motor yachts and cruise vessels with demanding specifications for stabilization both at zero speed and underway.
The newly developed fin stabilizer utilizes long-time experience and well proven components from the Type S stabilizer together with a new fin profile and modified actuator and control system. Numerical analysis and tank tests have been performed to verify the optimal fin shape, working angle and stabilizing performance.
- New Fin Profile. One-piece fin specially designed for optimum stabilization.
- Retractable fins. Stabilizer fins are stored when not in use.
- Large fin range available depending on size and performance requirements of the vessel.
- Rotary Vane Actuators. The well proven rotary vane motor has been modified to operate with an angle of ±60° to ensure reliable and correct roll reduction at all conditions.
- Accumulator Supported Hydraulic System has a very fast response ensuring high stabilizing performance in all conditions.
- The fin stabilizers are operated by Simplex-Compact Adaptive Control, which is a higly reliable automatic control system for easy operation and monitoring as well as simple installation.
- Touch Control Panels are installed on the bridge and in the ECR to simplify control and supervising of the fin stabilizers.
