Widely publicised disasters serve as a reminder to the maritime
profession of the eminent need for enhancing safety
cost-effectively and as a strong indicator of the existing gaps in
the stability safety of ships and ocean vehicles. The problem of
ship stability is so complex that practically meaningful solutions
are feasible only through close international collaboration and
concerted efforts by the maritime community, deriving from sound
scientific approaches. Responding to this and building on an
established track record of co-operative research between UK and
Japan, a Collaborative Research Project (CRP) was launched in 1995.
This volume includes selected material from the first four
workshops: 1st in University of Strathclyde, July 1995 organized by
Professor Vassalos; 2nd in Osaka Japan, Osaka University, November
1996 organized by Professor Masami Hamamoto; 3rd in Crete Greece,
Ship Design Laboratory of the National Technical University of
Athens (NTUA-SDL), October 1997 organized by Professor Apostolos
Papanikolaou; and 4th in Newfoundland Canada, Institute for Marine
Dynamics, September 1998 organized by David Molyneux. It contains
46 papers that represent all currently available expertise on ship
stability, spanning 17 countries from around the world. The
framework adopted for grouping the papers aims to cover broad areas
of ship stability in a way that it provides a template for future
volumes.
