Advanced Operating System for Yachts with Existing Fin Stabilisers

DMS Universal: It is often the case that the control or operating system for a yacht’s existing fin stabilisers is no longer functioning properly due to malfunction, age or simply because replacements parts are no longer available. When the fins themselves and the mechanical & hydraulic parts still all work well, with years of potential operation still left in them, it is a shame to have to opt for a completely new & expensive roll damping system.


A solution now exists to replace just the defective control system by installing DMS Universal. This is a modern digital control system developed by DMS Holland featuring the latest technology such as CAN bus communication, colour touch screen and an electronic multi-term controller equipped with ingenious stabilisation algorithms. In many cases this is not just a simple replacement but a major upgrade and improvement to the operation and functionality of the entire system. An environmentally and economically sound solution.
