ABSTRACT:
A passive tank stabilizer is mounted on a watergoing vessel in the athwartship direction for counteracting the roll of the vessel so that the vessel can be stabilized. The passive tank stabilizer comprises at least two tanks or two holders obtained by dividing one tank into two parts, with the tanks or the holders having different space volume and containing quantities of stabilizing liquid such as water. The passive tank stabilizer is capable of producing stabilizing effects over a wide range of roll frequencies of the vessel.
