A twin hull vessel having two parallel buoyant hulls interconnected by a hull cross-structure above the waterline, wherein the vessel further comprises a roll damping device comprises one or more mobile solid ballast bodies guided on a track, preferably housed within a compartment of the cross-structure of the vessel, and an associated displacement drive and displacement drive control, said drive control being adapted to cause motion of said one or more solid ballast bodies so as to compensate for sea-state induced vessel roll motion, and wherein the vessel further comprises at least one pitch damping device comprising one or more mobile solid ballast bodies guided on a track and an associated displacement drive and displacement drive control, said drive control being adapted to cause motion of said one or more solid ballast bodies so as to compensate for sea-state induced vessel pitch motion, preferably a pitch damping device being associated with each buoyant hull, preferably housed within a compartment of the respective buoyant hull of the vessel.
