This textbook provides readers with an understanding of the basics
of ship stability as it has been enacted in international law. The
assessment of ship stability has evolved considerably since the
first SOLAS convention after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, and
this book enables readers to familiarise themselves with the most
up-to-date modern day methodology, as well as looking ahead to the
effects on ship design over the next fifty years. The author not
only explains the methodology of probabilistic ship damage as
required by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), but also
details the new requirements to assess certain sizes and classes of
ships to the seven second-generation ship stability requirements.
Many textbooks that are currently used by undergraduates focus on
the geometric-centric deterministic approach to the assessment of
ship stability, whereas this book also includes material on the
classes of ships that are now required to have probabilistic ship
damage assessment, as has only recently been agreed by the IMO.
Basic Naval Architecture: Ship Stability contains up-to-date
information, making it ideal for university students studying ocean
or marine engineering, as well as being of interest to students on
naval architecture and ship science courses. Highly illustrated and
including chapter studies for ease of learning, the book is an
ideal one-volume textbook for students.
