Ship stability, dynamics and safety: Status and perspectives from a review of recent STAB conferences and ISSW events

Influence of ship dynamics modelling on the prediction of fishing vessels roll response in beam and longitudinal waves

“…Examples are FREDYN (de Kat and Paulling, 1989;McTaggart and de Kat, 2000), LAIDYN (Matusiak, 2007), LAMP (Liut et al, 2002;Shin et al, 2003;Spyrou et al, 2009), NMRIW (Ogawa, 2009), SHIXDOF (Bulian and Francescutto, 2013), TEMPEST (Belknap and Reed, 2010), and the tools developed by Ayaz et al (2006), Lugni (2012, 2013), Grochowalski et al (1998) and Liu and Papanikolaou (2016), among others. Blended tools, were also discussed by Beck and Reed (2001) and, more recently, in the review by Ba ckalov et al (2016).…”

An overview of the current research on stability of ships and ocean vehicles: The STAB2018 perspective

“…In the previous reviews of papers presented at STAB conferences and ISSW events (Bačkalov et al, 2015 andBačkalov et al, 2016), a growing concern was expressed that the contemporary research on ship stability and engineering education on this subject do not advance at the same pace. Therefore, the research and the educational process become increasingly disconnected and the implementation of research results in university courses on ship stability turns into a challenging task.…”

“…In both cases, the papers deal with the revaluation of wellknown methods that are standard parts of the naval architecture curricula. In the previous review papers (Bačkalov et al, 2015 andBačkalov et al, 2016), the lack of literature suitable for university education in ship stability was stressed as one of the main challenges. Some books, however, authored by the prominent researchers and members of the STAB community, were indicated as valuable references in the teaching process.…”

“…The International Conference on the Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (STAB), held every three years, and the International Ship Stability Workshop (ISSW), held annually between the STAB conferences, cover the key research topics related to the stability of ships, providing significant contributions to the maritime community. Bačkalov et al (2016) reviewed the most relevant contributions reported in the STAB and ISSW proceedings of the period 2009-2014, identifying and analysing the trends of research in ship stability. In the present work, a review of the research presented in STAB conferences and ISSW workshops in the period 2015-2017 (which includes STAB 2015, ISSW 2016 and ISSW 2017) is performed, and categorised in sections covering all major aspects of ship stability.…”

Stability analysis of semi-trimaran flat hull ship for a sea transportation model

“…Another benefit of this structure is to improve the stability of the ship; because this type of hull seemly has a stabilizer on its side. Ship stability is the ability of a ship to return to its original position after receiving the forces from the outside [2]. Therefore, this research is to emphasize the stability test of the Semi Trimaran hull form using inclining method according to international standard.…”
