How naval architects calculate a ship's chances of surviving a collision, floodable length, bulkheads, and the subdivision index
When a cargo ship ripped a massive hole in an oil tanker in the North Sea, the tanker somehow stayed afloat and stable. The ...
The current study explores nonlinear stability in vessels with roll-damping to ensure safety in realistic maritime conditions, thereby expanding stability. It develops a generalized model that ...
Classification society DNV has awarded type approval to NAPA’s new onboard stability software for the passenger sector – NAPA Stability, a new onboard stability solution that will replace NAPA Loading ...

The real reason cruise ships can’t have big pools, water weight, free surface effect, and ship stability
Cruise ship pools look absurdly small until you factor in the brutal physics of water at sea, including weight high up, structural reinforcement, and the free surface effect that can worsen stability.
