    moments due to waves, slamming (water impact loads on sections of the hull), added

    powering in waves, and the frequency and severity of water on deck.

    loading configurations a Ship orBoat may be subjected to. They are recognized by

    regulatory authorities such as Lloyd's, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and SOLAS.

    The conditions describe the Displacement (fluid) or weight of the vessel.

    They are normally broken into two classes: Intact and Damage

    Intact : The vessel is in normal operational configuration. The hull is notbreached in any compartment. The vessel will be expected to meet various

    stability criteria such as GMt, area under the Gz curve, range of stability,

    trim, etc. while subjected to sustained winds, passenger heeling,

    maneouvering, lifting, etc.

    Damage : Based on the Worst Operating Condition the vessel is

    analytically damaged by opening various combinations of watertight

    compartments to the sea. The vessel will be expected to meet various

    stability criteria such as freeboard, trim, list, GMt, etc.

    Naval vessels must meet standards described in military standards (ex: MIL-STD,

    CFTO) while commercial vessels are regulated by the government of the flag they sail

    under and the governments of the ports they operate under.

    Additionally: Worst Operating Condition is a loosely defined condition that may have

    the least freeboard or least intact stability (or both). This condition forms the baseline for

    the Damage Stabilty assessment.

    In naval architecture, instantaneous stability is a measure of how a vessel's buoyancy

    is distributed. Also known as Intact Stability. Stability is measured by metacentric height.

    Inclining Test

    It is easy to check the weight of a vessel by reading draughts and comparing with the

    known properties. It is not as easy to check the position of the vertical centre of gravity

    (VCG) and yet this dominates stability.

    The VCG position can be estimated by moving a weight to produce a known overturning

    moment. Knowing the restoring properties (buoyancy) of the vessel from its dimensions

    and floating position and measuring the equilibrium angle that the vessel lies at, the

    VCG position can be calculated. This is an Inclining Test and it is done inshore in still

    water and free of mooring restraints to achieve accuracy.

    ship itself is known as G in naval architecture. When a ship is upright, the center of

    buoyancy is directly below the center of gravity of the ship.

    The metacenteris the point where the lines intersect (at angle ) of the upward force of

    buoyancyof d. When the ship is vertical it lies above the center of gravity and so

    moves in the opposite direction of heel as the ship rolls. The metacenter is known as M

    in naval architecture.

    The distance between the center of gravity and the metacentre is called the metacentric

    height, and is usually between one and two metres. This distance is also abbreviated as

    GM. As the ship heels over, the centre of gravity generally remains fixed with respect to

    the ship because it just depends upon position of the ship's weight and cargo, but the

    surface area increases, increasing BM. The metacentre, M, moves up and sideways

    in the opposite direction in which the ship has rolled and is no longer directly over the

    centre of gravity.[1]

    The righting force on the ship is then caused by gravity pulling down on the hull,

    effectively acting on its center of gravity, and the buoyancy pushing the hull upwards;

    effectively acting along the vertical line passing through the center of buoyancy and themetacenter above it. This creates a torque which rotates the hull upright again and is

    proportional to the horizontal distance between the center of gravity and the metacenter.

    The metacentric height is important because the righting force is proportional to the

    metacentric height times the sine of the angle of heel.

    Righting arm

    Distance GZ is the righting arm: a notional lever through which the force of buoyancyacts.

    Sailing vessels are designed to operate with a higher degree of heel than motorized

    vessels and the righting torque at extreme angles is of high importance. This is

    expressed as the righting arm (known also as GZ see diagram): the horizontal

    distance between the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity.[1]

    Monohulled sailing vessels are designed to have a positive righting arm (the limit ofpositive stability) at anything up to 120 of heel, although as little as 90 (masts flat to the

    surface) is acceptable. As the displacement of the hull at any particular degree of list is

    not proportional, calculations can be difficult and the concept was not introduced

    formally into naval architecture until about 1970.[2

    "tender" - have a long roll period - a low GM increases the risk of a ship capsizing in

    rough weather (see HMS Captain orHMS Vasa) and more likely to develop

    "synchronized rolling". It also puts the vessel at risk of potential for large angles of heel if

    the cargo or ballast shifts (see Cougar Ace). If a ship with low GM is damaged and

    partially flooded the metacentric height will be reduced further and make it even lessstable. On the other hand, a too large metacentric height can cause a vessel to be too

    "stiff"; excessive stability is uncomfortable for passengers and crew because it quickly

    snaps back upright after a wave or wind gust which heeled it over has passed. An overly

    stiff vessel rolls with a short period and high amplitude. This can lead to damage to the

    ship and cause cargo to break loose or shift. A passenger ship will typically have a long

    rolling period for comfort, perhaps 28 seconds while a tanker or freighter might have a

    rolling period of 13 to 15 seconds.

    Damage StabilityIf a ship floods the loss of stability is due to the free surface effect, as the water

    accumulating in the hull will be in the bilges, lowering the centre of gravity and actually

    increasing the metacentric height. However once the ship is inclined the centre of gravity

    of the fluid in the bilge moves to the low side, resulting in a list, which will reduce the

    righting lever (the tendency of the ship to right itself).

    In tanks or spaces that are partially filled with a fluid or semi-fluid (fish, ice or grain for

    example) as the tank is inclined the surface of the liquid, or semi-fluid, stays level. This

    results in a displacement of the centre of gravity of the tank or space. The effect is

    similar to that of carrying a large flat tray of water. When an edge is tipped, the water

    rushes to that side which exacerbates the tip even further.The significance of this effect is proportional to the square of the width of the tank or

    compartment, so two baffles separating the area into thirds will reduce the displacement

    of the centre of gravity of the fluid by a factor of 9. This is always of significance in ship

    fuel tanks or ballast tanks, tanker cargo tanks, and in flooded or partially flooded

    compartments of damaged ships. Another worrying feature of free surface effect is that a

    positive feedback loop can be established, in which the period of the roll is equal or

    almost equal to the period of the motion of the centre of gravity in the fluid, resulting in

    each roll increasing in magnitude until the loop is broken or the ship capsizes.
