Aims
To develop advanced understanding of contemporary issues in ship stability including deterministic and probabilistic damage stability.
To be informed regarding advanced ship design and operational issues through a series of four dedicated seminars on current and topical issues.
Outline Of Syllabus
The module provides an understanding of the design of ships with design tools, limit state analysis, current research, design implications and the goal based design approach to naval architecture.; specifically related to ship stability issues. In addition, topical issues will be identified, presented and critiqued; where the specific subjects will be updated on an annual basis.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures in the classroom provide the student with general understanding and familiarity with the fundamentals of advanced naval architecture and to estimate damage stability performance. The students are strongly recommended and guided to read classic books and the state of the art papers to cover a wide range of current naval architecture issues and catch-up with the latest developments in this important subject area.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
