Gineico Marine adds new Quick anti-roll system

Latest Italian-designed MC²X gyro system to be launched at SCIBS.

Marine accessory specialist, Gineico Marine will host the Australian launch of the first of the new Quick MC²X-Series anti-roll gyro stabilisers at the upcoming Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS).

The Quick MC²X stabiliser is designed to be more compact, simpler, less noisy and easier to maintain than traditional gyro systems. It replaces the usual horizontal spinning mass and water-cooled management system with a more efficient vertically spinning mass and a simpler air-cooled system. This design means there is no need for hydraulic rams to allow the bow to rise and fall, no cooling pumps, no sacrificial anodes, and no custom patented bearings.

The vertically spinning mass of the Quick MC²X uses off-the-shelf bearings on either side that share the load. This design means the weight is evenly shared, resulting in less friction and a machine that reaches operating speeds faster with less power/energy.

According to the Italian manufacturers, the patented design is also approximately 30% smaller compared to other brands of gyro stabilisers on the market, making it easier to install in new designs or retrofit to existing vessels. It is suitable for vessels up to 250 tons.

The stabilisers can be managed using a remote touch panel with graphic display (multi-station compatible) available in 4” and 5” sizes. The newly-released MC² Mobile App (available for both Android and iOS devices) records the performance of the stabilisers during sea trials to track the results.

After being launched earlier this year, Quick SpA sold over 40 MC²X units on the global market in February 2018 alone. Several machines are currently being installed in Australia.

The latest sea trial video of the Quick MC²X is available on the Gineico Marine website.

The Quick MC²X gyro will be on show at SCIBS, stand number PR17 on the Promenade, adjacent to F Arm on the marina.
