The invention relates to a device for damping a vessel's motion using a lifting effect, comprising at least one first stabilisation element that extends from the vessel's hull, below the water line, on a side of the vessel, which at least one stabilisation element is configured as a wing, sensor means for sensing the vessel's motion and delivering control signals on the basis thereof, as well as moving means for moving the at least one wing-shaped stabilisation element relative to the hull. According to the invention, the system is to that end characterised in that the moving means are configured for imparting a pivoting movement in the direction of the stem or the stern of the vessel to the at least one wing-shaped stabilisation element and setting a tilt angle of the at least one wing-shaped stabilisation element relative to the ship's hull in dependence on the speed of the vessel and the control signals delivered by the sensor means, such that the lifting effect generated by the at least one wing-shaped stabilisation element will have a damping effect on the ship's motion being sensed.
