The 2008 version of the Code details guidelines on Second Generation Intact Stability for ships, specifically criteria for dynamic stability and damage assessment. [7] The Code is split into two parts. Part A contains mandatory criteria. Part B contains additional guidelines and recommendations. [4]
Ship stability is an area of naval architecture and ship design that deals with how a ship behaves at sea, both in still water and in waves, whether intact or damaged. Stability calculations focus on centers of gravity , centers of buoyancy , the metacenters of vessels, and on how these interact.
The stability conditions of watercraft are the various standard loading configurations to which a ship, boat, or offshore platform may be subjected. They are recognized by classification societies such as Det Norske Veritas , Lloyd's Register and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
Chapter II-1 – Construction – Subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations The subdivision of passenger ships into watertight compartments so that after damage to its hull, a vessel will remain afloat and stable. [2] This includes compliance with the International Code on Intact Stability
Criteria for this dynamic stability effect remain to be developed. In contrast, a "tender" ship lags behind the motion of the waves and tends to roll at lesser amplitudes. A passenger ship will typically have a long rolling period for comfort, perhaps 12 seconds while a tanker or freighter might have a rolling period of 6 to 8 seconds.
This is a list of container ships, both those in service and those which have ceased to operate. Container ships are a type of cargo ship that transports containers . For ships that have sailed under multiple names, their most recent name is used and former names are listed in the Notes section.
Sub-Committee on Ship Systems and Equipment (SSE) Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC). [2] [21] The names of the IMO sub-committees were changed in 2013. [20] Prior to 2013 there were nine Sub-Committees as follows: Bulk Liquids and Gases (BLG) Carriage of Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers(DSC) Fire Protection (FP)
An inclining test is a test performed on a ship to determine its stability, lightship weight and the coordinates of its center of gravity.The test is applied to newly constructed ships greater than 24m in length, and to ships altered in ways that could affect stability.
