INTACT STABILITY ANALYSIS
CONTACT (/CONTACT.HTML)

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. Intact stability 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.

Intact stability 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.

DETERMINISTIC & PROBABILISTIC DAMAGE STABILITY ANALYSIS

Damage stability compliance is classification requirements for larger vessels. Due to complex tank structure and different
loading conditions, damage stability is a time consuming job. We have performed many damage stability reports in house.
Damage stability comprises of various scenario for double bottom damage and wing damage conditions,
Classification societies have their own set of rules for damage stability guidelines. 
Damage stability deterministic approach is adopted mainly for the vessels which are smaller in size and have comparatively
less impact for human life and environment, However sometimes these damage guidelines are very stringent for the vessels
which are carrying petroleum products or noxious liquids.
As the vessel size gets bigger and number of complement or special persons reaches a certain limit. Probabilistic approach
of damage stability comes into picture. Where survival of vessel after damage  is measured in terms of
probability , So probability of damage of certain compartments,probability of survival index is computed from IMO
guidelines.
Vessels which meet index requirements are considered safe for navigation. Probabilistic damage stability is based on
damage data of  previous collision or grounding of  many vessels so it represents a very realistic picture for damage
stability.
We have extensive experience and comprehensive engineering tools to provide these difficult and complex calculations 

INCLINING EXPERIMENT AND DOCUMENTATION

Inclining experiment is first step in way of determining ship's stability. It provides vital data for stability calculation.
Inclining experiment is done in calm weather. Normally weight transfer method or ballast transfer method is used for
inclining experiment. Weights or ballast are shifted in various stages and heeling angles are measured at every stage.After 6
or 8 stages, we create a relationship between moment generated and heel angle produce which helps to determine GM of
the vessel. Considering Inclining loading condition VCG, LCG and TCG can be determined. Theses figures obtained from
Inclining experiment will be used to access the stability of the vessel.

We have completed many Inclining experiments for barges, accommodation vessels,,tug boats, tankers and various other
kind of vessel.
Our team is expert in preparation of Inclining experiment procedure, Inclining experiment results and on board Inclining
test.
