Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0855339A2] The keel has at least two parts (1,2) pivotably located on the hull independently of each other around an axis running in longitudinal direction of vessel. The two parts are pivotably located by means of drives and comprises a ballast keel (2) and a vane keel (1). Both keels are pivotably located via tubular bearing bodies (4) in bearings (9) on the outside of the vessel hull. The bearings for the keels together with the drives for their adjustment are provided in at least one housing (5) activated by a fluid which is under permanent hydrostatic pressure. The hydrostatic pressure is higher than that of the seawater in the area of the seals in the seams between movable and static parts of the keel parts. The ballast keel is nearer to the bow and the vane keel is nearer to the stern of the vessel or vice versa.
