CMC Marine: Advanced stabilization and thruster updates heading to the Cannes Yachting Festival

CMC Marine is introducing updates across its motion control and stabilization product line, focusing on energy efficiency and system integration for yachts and superyachts. Among the key developments is an Energy Recovery System that captures kinetic energy during fin stabilizer braking and feeds it back during acceleration. The technology smooths power spikes and cuts power consumption by up to 30%, allowing zero-speed stabilization to run on a single generator.

The company has also expanded hardware and power compatibility across its range. Updates include a high-voltage DC configuration for hybrid yachts and battery-powered systems, alongside new Low Aspect Ratio fin profiles designed to reduce hydrodynamic drag. Further additions include larger compact stabilization models for yachts above 40 meters, five-blade bow thruster propellers, and an updated touchscreen control interface with CAN NMEA 2000 integration.

  • Energy Recovery System: Cuts stabilizer power consumption by up to 30% and reduces generator power spikes
  • Stabilis Electra LA fins: Profile redesign reduces hydrodynamic drag by up to 30% across fin areas from 2.10 to 7 m²
  • Waveless STAB series: STAB 50 and STAB 60 models expand application to yachts of 40m LOA and above
  • Dualis Electra thrusters: Five-blade propeller geometry reduces operational thrust fluctuations by up to 30%
  • High-voltage DC integration: Enables direct current bus compatibility for Stabilis Electra systems and thrusters
  • Touchscreen display: Sunlight-readable capacitive interface with CAN NMEA 2000 connectivity
