Intact stability is the basic and utmost check for ship’s sea worthiness and very important when ship is not damaged.We have done intact stability using various codes and regulation. This criteria mainly includes area ratio checks,minimum area requirement up to down flooding angle or angle of vanishing stability,Angle for max GZ position and minimum GM etc.
The compliance is checked mainly against unprotected downflooding points where idea is mainly to check contingency in case of sudden heel due to gust wind or wave. Defining Various loading conditions like lifting, anchor handling,towing, weather etc are very important for worst case Intact stability check.
Different classification societies have different set of intact stability rules however most of these rules have been extracted from IMO code. Many special conditions Intact stability checks are performed with different codes like for Towing, lifting, fire fighting, anchor chain handling.
Sufficient GM is very important for Intact stability check and always regarded as one of the most significant indicator for sufficient stability. We have years of experience in working with the ABS, Lloyds, DNV, BV, USCG and IMCI, and can quickly prepare a stability analysis that is fully compliant and rapidly reviewed and approved by these organizations. designs for our customers.
