This book discusses small vessel stability, with reference to the MCA's Small Vessel Safety Codes, and is written for all who operate, design, construct or survey small commercial or recreational vessels or are studying to do so. It provides essential information on the requirements and content of the ship Stability Information Book, which will benefit Masters when preparing for and undertaking their mandatory stability course prior to assuming command. It will also enable Code examiners and surveyors to understand the reasoning behind the requirements of Section 11 and to exercise intelligent judgement on the continuing safe relationship between a ship's Stability Book and the ship's condition during inspections.
This book has been revised and updated following publication of the MCA's 2018 Second Edition of the Workboat Code.
It provides an introduction to ship stability, weight, centre of gravity and hydrostatic infromation, and then guides the reader through the calculations necessary to maintain buoyancy and stability. It discusses how to conduct inclining experiments and roll tests and how to use the results.
Detailed information is provided on loading condition and free surface effects, together with calculation of the associated flotation and stability characteristics.
Further chapters cover stability acceptance criteria, trim, the downflooding angle, damage survivability, the use of lifting devices and the stability of sailing vessels.
The metric system of measurement is used throughout and the author's original hand-drawn sketches have been retained to illustrate the text.
The author hopes that the reader, who develops an understanding of the subject matter, will then be able to follow the Safety Codes and the ISO Standards, and will begin to understand some of the important basics of naval architecture that keep ships and small vessels The Right Way Up.
