Italian manufacturer Gyro Marine Srl has announced it has completed what it says is the largest, most powerful gyroscopic stabiliser to be built since the 1930s, weighing in at 22tonnes and with a stabilising capacity to 1,100kNm. With no contact to the water and an ability to place anywhere on the ship with equal effect, large-scale gyroscopes are gaining considerable interest. Gyro Marine, which designs and manufactures gyroscopic stabilisers for mega yachts, military and offshore sectors, offers a range of machines to 50tonnes, with stabilising capacities to circa 2,000kNm, and multiple machines for larger applications. Despite the massive scale of the machines, the company says its solution represents only a few percent of vessel displacement.
