Update on Ship Stability

Ship Operation

The module reviews briefly intact stability before focusing on advanced topics of ship stability.

First the basic physics of stability phenomena is reviewed to the extent necessary to understand tools and regulations. Simplifications in the models and associated risks are discussed.


Course objective


Participants will gain knowledge about advanced topics in ship stability.


Emphasis

  • Brief review of intact stability
  • Intact stability regulations
  • Simple models (free surface, shifting cargo, crane loads, docking)
  • Dynamic stability (synchronous roll, parametric roll, tools)
  • Damage stability (physics, regulations)
