The hydrodynamic part of ship safety is actually managed by means of prescriptive stability criteria based on static stability characteristics of the ship. The analysis reveals that this approach leads to many contradictions whose final effect is to delay the formulation and adoption of higher safety standards.

Abstract
The hydrodynamic part of ship safety is actually managed by means of prescriptive stability criteria based on static stability characteristics of the ship. The analysis reveals that this approach leads to many contradictions whose final effect is to delay the formulation and adoption of higher safety standards. Only the development of a fully physical approach could allow a realistic evaluation of the probabilities of ship loss through the different mechanisms. The final goal will be an effectively unified approach to ship safety.File in questo prodotto:
