Anti-Heeling Systems Suppliers

Anti-heeling systems prevent excessive heel just when ships are under the most operational stress - during fast cargo operations, heavy lifts, RoRo ramp work, or passenger embarkation. Instead of relying on slow manual ballast adjustments, these systems move water automatically between port and starboard heeling tanks based on signals from heel sensors and tank level instruments. The goal is simple: keep heel within tight limits so cranes, ramps and people can operate safely and efficiently.

Today’s market is driven by a relatively small group of specialist anti-heeling system suppliers and component manufacturers. Anti-heeling system OEMs deliver complete packages - pumps, valves, sensors, control cabinets and software - while pump makers, valve manufacturers and instrumentation brands support them with dedicated hardware and spare parts. Solutions are installed on RoRo and PCTC vessels, container ships, offshore crane vessels, heavy-lift carriers, ferries and cruise ships, wherever heel control directly affects operational windows and safety.

Modern Anti-Heeling Systems: Main system concepts and new features

Most marine anti-heeling systems are built around the same basic idea: fast transfer of ballast water across the ship, controlled by a dedicated automation system. Anti-heeling system manufacturers offer several main concepts tailored to different vessel types and space constraints:

Pump-based systems - the standard solution, using one reversible heeling pump or a pair of centrifugal pumps, combined with remote-controlled valves. These packages are sized to match cargo rates or crane capacities so the system could respond quickly with rapid load changes.
U-tank and blower-based systems - on some offshore and heavy-lift vessels, anti-heeling can be combined with roll damping in a U-shaped tank arrangement. Air blowers or pumps move water in the tanks to counter both heel and roll, giving a more integrated motion-control solution.
Combined motion and load control - some top manufacturers now link anti-heeling systems directly to crane data or loading programs. Load Moment Control functions anticipate heel changes during heavy lifts and adjust ballast proactively rather than only reacting to a heel angle.

Newer models focus strongly on energy use, reliability and integration. Heeling pumps are offered with optimized hydraulics, compact footprints and service-friendly designs to reduce lifecycle costs. Most modern level and point-level instruments are radar or vibrating-type switches that require minimal maintenance and include built-in diagnostics. Control systems come with touch-screen HMIs, remote access and links to integrated automation, motion-control or performance platforms so operators and shore teams can see how the system is behaving and plan maintenance around real operating data.

Comparing Anti-Heeling Solutions on Records Marine

Because anti-heeling systems are safety- and schedule-critical, choosing a supplier means finding equipment and support that genuinely match your vessel and operations. On this page of Records Marine, technical managers, superintendents and newbuild teams can compare anti-heeling system distributors in a structured way instead of piecing information together from multiple sources.

The platform offers smart filters that help you move quickly from a long global list to a manageable set of relevant suppliers. You can focus on companies whose profiles match your type of vessel and project, whether you are planning a newbuild installation or an upgrade on an existing ship.

Shipowners and operators can build a focused shortlist of anti-heeling equipment suppliers that align with their vessel types, operational profiles and expectations for reliability, service and lifecycle cost, and then contact them directly to discuss specifications and project requirements.
