Possibility of integrating IMO second-generation stability criteria in complex seaworthiness norms system
EDN: EIPDXD
Abstract
Specific indices are forming the basis allowing to consider ship’s behavior characteristics in complex seaworthiness verification and regulation system. In this regard the set of specific indices is to be wide enough. On the other hand, for future formulating of short-term seaworthiness indices characterizing ship’s behavior in a particular sea state on the basis of specific indices there is to be a possibility to consider the intensity of sea wave, ship’s speed and course angle. That possibility allows to perform short-term and long-term seaworthiness assessment. Peculiarities of firstand second-generation IMO stability criteria and connected research works are considered in the article. Criteria’s peculiarities allowing or not allowing to use them as specific seaworthiness indices are marked. It is concluded that using IMO second-generation stability criteria and ecological regulations in complex seaworthiness assessment and regulation is promising.
