Being a probabilistic damage stability expert in my “previous life”, the struggle and complexity when it comes to passenger ships where often thousands of damage cases are to be investigated, still felt like yesterday! In general, the overall level of safety is enhanced with SOLAS2009, although there are still areas to be further explored!
Foreship Ltd. has released a white paper, outlining significant calculation differences in Damage Stability. Probabilistic rules for damage stability continue to make overall damage stability calculations increasingly complicated, especially in the case of cruise ships. Markus Aarnio, Chief Naval Architect, and Pasi Mustonen, Senior Naval Architect, Ship Theory at Foreship, offer a new white paper detailing Ten Damage Stability items that should be calculated differently.
