This volume discusses various effects on stability, such as; changes in hull geometry and weight distribution, suspended weights, partial support due to grounding or dry docking, and free liquid surfaces in tanks or other internal spaces.
The concept of dynamic stability is introduced, starting from the ship’s response to an impulsive heeling moment.
The effects of waves on resistance to capsize are discussed noting that in some cases, the wave effect may result in diminished stability and dangerous dynamic effects.
