Probabilistic damage stability has had a major impact on the design work on the
shipyards
The design principles of passenger ships have not changed dramatically
Regulations based on probabilistic concepts have to take into account all flooding
scenarios and actual ship behaviour, in order to ensure a given safety level.
Safety levels have been increased due to
