For shipyards & yacht builders
The best stabilizer installation is the one that was part of the design from the start. We support yacht builders, naval architects and yards through the full trajectory: from concept phase and engineering to installation, commissioning and service.
RotorSwing supports shipyards and yacht builders through the entire build: installation advice, electrical integration, on-site installation support, and sea trials with commissioning, backed by stabilization calculations, weight and space analysis, CAD integration and STEP models.
In a new build, the stabilization system enters the design early. During engineering we work with the yard and the naval architect to determine the optimal position of the stabilizers, so structural provisions, hull penetrations and system integration land in the design rather than being refitted into it.
Concretely, the support package covers:
Stabilization calculations
Weight and space analysis
CAD integration and STEP models
Installation advice
Electrical integration
Support during installation
Sea trials and commissioning
Technical drawings and models are shared directly within a project. If your engineering team needs data to start, ask engineering for the data and it comes from the people who made it.
Installation typically happens at a relatively early stage of the build, which keeps cable runs, component placement and integration with the yacht's other systems clean. And placement is flexible: rotors mount anywhere from midships to 1.5 meters forward of the transom, so the stabilizer works around your general arrangement instead of dictating it.
When the yacht is complete, we commission the system, test and tune every function, and verify performance on a sea trial before handover.
Displacement, semi-displacement and higher speed vessels are covered by one supplier: Magnus-effect rotors, electric fins, or both combined, each in Underway or Underway + ZeroSpeed configurations. The range your clients will ask about lives at the systems yards build in.
Working on refit projects too? How we work with refit yards. Specifying independently? Support for naval architects.
Bring us in at the concept stage and the stabilizer becomes a line in the design, not a problem in the schedule. Start an engineering conversation with the factory in Nuth.
