Abstract

Information about stability presently used on ship for many reasons is ineffective for functional persons. Stability examples have to make calculation of initial metacentric height and progress of curve of righting levers possible. Ship loading states do not overlap often any of typical states. That is the reason why there have been made accurate stability calculations. In this paper there has been presented the computer system of undamaged ship stability calculations which can be used for constant monitoring of ship stability as well without making allowance for over icing as with overicing. The calculations will be helpful to functional persons on a ship, their proper operation, which will increase safety of floating. 1 Introduction From the accessible sources it follows that most cases of si
