The application of a tabular method to calculate ships\u27 intact stability

The survivability of a vessel is related to its intact and damage stability. This paper seeks to study and develop a working computer programme to calculate stability of vessel of any shapes of hullform emphasizing in its intact stability as the Righting Arm, GZ curve has always been the prime concern of regulatory bodies. There are various ways of assessing the intact stability such as deterministic and probabilistic. The purpose of this study is to further develop a ship stability program using FORTRAN based on mathematical modelling of the statically behaviour of the intact ships in calm water. The mathematical model comprises hydrostatic and stability whilst taking into consideration progressive inclination of vessel. A trawler \u2728.3m Fishing Trawler\u27 hull form will be chosen for parametric study for the application in the developing of the Intact Stability Program. A different ship hull form will be carried out to validate the program results
