This chair isolates users from vessel motion through advanced gyroscopic technology
The gyro-stabilised maritime chair is designed to isolate users from vessel motion, enhancing comfort and operational efficiency.
The chair integrates advanced gyro stabilisation technology, which counters vessel rolling by generating opposing forces
This ensures a stable working environment and comfort even in challenging marine conditions.
Unlike vessel-wide stabilization systems, this chair only needs to stabilize the mass of the user and immediate workstation—a much more manageable task than stabilizing an entire vessel. This allows for a compact design that can be installed in various maritime environments, from control rooms to bridge areas and passenger spaces.
This video, whilst edited, demonstrates how this gyro-stabilised chair works.
The system requires minimal user intervention. When engaged, it automatically activates when vessel motion exceeds programmed thresholds, allowing users to focus entirely on their tasks without distraction.
By isolating maritime personnel from vessel motion, these stabilized chairs help maintain cognitive function and physical comfort throughout long periods at sea. This significantly reduces incidents of motion sickness, sopite syndrome (drowsiness caused by motion), and associated fatigue—enhancing both wellbeing and operational safety for everyone onboard.
