If this system worked the QM2 would use it instead of spending $millions on
stabilisiers.

What they have is better and they use it. This does not mean that an
arrangement of tanks cannot work at all.

Surely the water wouldn't slosh until the boat started to heel, and then
it would slosh to the lower side aggravating the situation rather than
helping it. Then, as the wave passed, and the boat was prepared to
return to upright, the water would be slow to slosh back 'up-hill' - it
would counter the mass of the keel. Wouldn't that possibly put a boat at
a potentially bad angle to the next wave?
