Blower Anti-Heeling System
www.hoppe-marine.com
System Overview
The Blower Anti-Heeling System is designed for high fl exibility
and short reaction time to support heavy load operations.
Our extensive experience dealing with heel angle correction
is the foundation for these special designs which allow
easy and safe handling in port, as well as during offshore
operations. These systems can be combined with a U-Tank
Stabilization System to enable the roll damping tank to be
used for heel compensation and/or ice-heeling purposes.
The closed system consists of one or more side tank pairs
which are connected with air pipes on the top and water
pipes close to the bottom. The compressed air from the
blower unit(s) is used to shift the water between the side
tanks and maintain the water level during operation. The air
fl ow is controlled by a valve group to the tanks and back to
the atmosphere via a silencer. The whole system is constantly
pressurized and levels are monitored by in-house designed
sensor units. All system data is processed in the PLC unit

Heavy Lift Load Compensation
Hoppe also offers an advanced Anti-Heeling System with
a special load moment control. The heeling moments of,
for example, heavy crane operations are recorded and
used to automatically determine the required heel angle
correction moments. The Blower Anti-Heeling System
ensures immediate fl ow control reaction time.
In the case of offshore heel operation, Hoppe’s inertial
measuring unit HOSIM is used to accurately determine the
vessel’s sea motion and eliminate its effect so that the heel
compensation can be executed correctly, even at sea.

Ice-Heeling
The system can also be used for ice-heeling operations
on ice breakers. It is used to heel the vessel fully from port
to starboard so that the vessel does not get stuck in ice.
Such a system requires fast reaction times and large
heel moments.
Combination with U-Tank Stabilization System
The Blower Anti-Heeling System can be combined with
a U-Tank Stabilization System using the same tanks.
During loading operations, the Blower System provides
heel angle compensation. While at sea or during offshore
operations, the U-Tank Stabilization System works as a
controlled passive roll reduction system to minimize the
vessel’s roll.
