Technical data retractable stabilizers

Calculated to shocks, sea and time proven

From French Navy frigates to cruise ships around the world, the retractable fin stabilizers constructed and maintained by Fouré Lagadec Marine have been in service since 1978.

The feedback provided by shipowners and our maintenance team has been applied to improve the equipment manufactured since then. Coupled with the company’s vast ability to innovate, this asset enables Fouré Lagadec Marine to design and manufacture systems that meet clients’ needs while relying on recognized standards.
