Damage survivability of cruise ships – Evidence and conjecture [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2016 This paper delves into damage stability legislation as it applies to passenger ships. The Concordia accident, like many others before it, has shaken the maritime profession once again with many questions being asked without being able to provide credible answers. Old ships have been designed to lower standards (it is common knowledge that new ships are
