Recently, very large container ships are emerging as shipment of containers is expected to rapidly increase near future. A possibility of roll resonant motion in a seaway is expected to noticeably increase for large container ships of which capacity ranges 8,000 to 15,000 TEU due to relatively wide breadth and shallow draft comparing to conventional container ships. In this paper, a design and performance evaluation of a fin stabilizer for a 9,000 TEU container ship is carried out. The weak opposed control concept is adopted for the design. Time domain simulations and model tests are performed for performance evaluation. The design prediction, the model tests and the simulations show generally good agreements.
