About Hoppe

FLUME

FLUME rolling damping tanks were first developed in the 1960s under the leadership of John Martin. These passive stabilisation systems have tanks with a free surface in which water is slowed down with the aim of a phase shift. Initially used mainly in naval vessels, FLUME Roll Stabilisation tanks are now found on many merchant and specialised vessels.

In addition to low operating costs, a major advantage of this system is that it works not only while the vessel is underway, but also when it is stationary. By reducing roll moments, crews experience added comfort. And container ship operators are also usually allowed more cargo volumes due to higher stowage, which is a clear efficiency advantage.
