HI just thought I should show you some pics of Norrøna's stabilizers, found them quite interesting myself, so I thought I should share them.
It's from when she got her old ones replaced with new and better ones.
first up is the hole the had to make to fit the new stabilizers

Any idea, why there was a need for new stabilizers?

the old ones got destroyed in storms, they weren't built good enough. They decided to replace them after the ship got a blackout in a sea and could have been lost. Several containers on the car deck got destroyed and also a couple of cars. I saw pics of everything from a crew member who was in the same room on the hospital, but I wasn't on the ship.
