Any ship, from sailing passenger ship to tugboat and from well barge to crane ship, needs to be able to sail safely in her area of operation.
Stability calculations are performed with several goals: to ensure a ship complies with (inter)national rules, to determine what is possible for any existing vessel or new design and, most importantly, whether a ship is safe with regards to stability.
Both for new designs and existing vessels, we perform calculation on intact stability and damage stability. In addition we perform inclining tests upon delivery of a ship or when the stability of an existing ship needs to be re-evaluated.
