ACTIVE - Ride Control

Our most advanced boat control system. Automatic control of trim and list with full motion damping.

When operating in open waters wave induced roll and pitch motions onboard vessels usually causes discomfort to all onboard. With a humphree ACTIVE ride control system these motions can be significantly reduced. The ACTIVE system also includes automatic trim and list control moreover compensating for cross winds or uneven loadings - all in one system.

The fast electric actuated interceptors are controlled by our most advanced control system “ACTIVE” to counteract the wave induced roll- and pitch motions of a vessel to improve on board comfort and operability of the vessel.
The Active system features our RCU(Ride Control Unit) that comprises an advanced digital controller with unique adaptive control algorithms and incorporating an integral state-of-the-art Gyro measuring 3D rate of turn and accelerations.

The combination of direct and high response electric actuated interceptors with the Humphree ACTIVE system provides an efficient ride control system for vessels in the range of 12-160m, operating in speeds above 20 knots.

The active system is operated from the Humphree control panel and can easily be switched on and off. A prefered attitude is set at the control panel depending on if going in Head, Beam or Following sea to have the hull work best in each sea condition.
