radxA quick search tells me that this is a model of a hotel ship, intended to be moored next to offshore platforms as a replacement for semi-submersible vessels. Stability is a requirement to ensure the safety of the connection between the platform and the ship itself.
Apparently, those waves are generated inside U-shaped compartments (side-bottom-side) within the hull of the ship, with air valves on top as a regulator for the motion of the water.
I wonder how much weight you have to transfer around to counteract the pitch and roll, how much energy it takes to initiate and maintain/control the interior waves and if malfunctioning valves could actually destabilize the ship.
shuacOr sink it.
... and if malfunctioning valves could actually destabilize the ship.
