The stanchion damping device is a dissipative component designed to limit the transmission of vibrations through structural elements connecting a ship’s decks.
It can be installed at either the base or the top of the connecting element, linking the traditional stanchion section with the rest of the ship’s structure. By introducing a high-energy-dissipation structural discontinuity, the device effectively reduces transmitted vibrations, enhancing onboard comfort even near major sources of disturbance, while also streamlining the use of traditional acoustic insulation materials.
Available in various sizes and with damping elements made of different materials (both polymeric and metallic), the device adapts to different structural needs and supports high loads. Its compact design ensures easy integration into the ship’s layout.
The device is certified for onboard use by leading marine classification bodies, which have assessed its structural performance in both intact and damaged conditions, ensuring maximum safety and comfort for designers and shipowners.
