For the purpose of comparison, a ship stability merit and a procedure to calculate it have been proposed. The suggested stability merit is in a form of the stability margin which includes roll motion responses in beam synchronous waves. The applied nonlinear roll, motion prediction model introduces a number of ship dynamic characteristics along with the basic environmental parameters into the conventional statical stability approach. The rolling amplitude has been calculated for the conditions for which the forms analysed meet the stability standards. The analysis reveals how any stability standards, particularly the IMO criteria, may affect the stability margin of various ship design alternatives defined by a given combination of the main form parameters.Read More
