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]
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).
The Code covers specific ship stability requirements for grain ships to prevent dangerous stability from the shifting of grain. [1] [3] Ships are required to be issued with a Document of Authorisation (SOA) and a Grain Loading Manual. [1]
IACS is a non-commercial, technical collaboration association to establish, review, develop, and promote minimum technical requirements in relation to the design, construction, maintenance and survey of ships and other marine related facilities and to assist international regulatory bodies in the development and interpretation of statutory regulations to help ensure their universal and uniform ...
Ship stability illustration explaining the stable and unstable dynamics of buoyancy (B), center of buoyancy (CB), center of gravity (CG), and weight (W) Ship stability is an area of naval architecture and ship design that deals with
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.
Simpson's rules are a set of rules used in ship stability and naval architecture, to calculate the areas and volumes of irregular figures. [1] This is an application of Simpson's rule for finding the values of an integral, here interpreted as the area under a curve. Simpson's First Rule
The Polar Code applies to ships operating in Polar Waters. The Polar Code stems from previous IMO documents, including voluntary guidelines in both 2002 [5] and 2010. [6] As part of ongoing international work on the Polar Code, an IMO Workshop on the code's Environmental Aspects was held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in September 2011.
