Improvement of ship stability and safety in damaged condition through operational measures : challenges and opportunities [PDF]
, 2016 Guaranteeing a sufficient level of safety from the point of view of stability is typically considered to be a matter of design. The overall level of safety of a ship, however, can only be guaranteed when considering passive design measures in conjunction
