Stabilizers will be added to the Titanic II to reduce roll in lousy weather. Active tank systems, or anti-roll systems, an accelerometer senses the rolling motions, and signals are sent from this roll-sensing device to a variable pitch pump, which controls the liquid flow between the tanks. This means the stabilizer can be used to reduce or even eliminate the roll of each individual wave. 

The Titanic II will also have “Anti-iceberg” upgrades: it will have a welded hull instead of a riveted one, which should make for more exceptional durability, and it’s slightly wider for stability. Plus, modern navigation equipment makes it highly unlikely that the ship will encounter something unexpected.
