What is a modern cruise ship equipped with to handle weather?
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides an overview of the technology used by the Celebrity Edge to maintain stability while sailing through the Gulf of Lion. This specific maritime area off the coasts of France and Spain is known for rougher waters and bumpy conditions. During a sea day with sixty knot winds and waves reaching five and a half meters, the video demonstrates how the vessel manages movement. The creator explains that the bridge utilizes bow radar to monitor wave height and direction. To counteract rolling, the ship employs two stabilizers located on each side of the vessel. Additionally, the crew manages internal liquid distribution through the use of four ballast tanks and four healing tanks positioned forward, aft, and on each side. By moving liquid between these tanks and utilizing the stabilizers, the ship is able to maintain stability and limit rolling to less than one degree on either side despite the challenging sea conditions.
