Abstract
The Demand for cruise ships has increased significantly in recent years. It has been recognized that the design of passenger vessels has changed significantly to reflect customer requirements and the need to increase the income earning capacity. Therefore, it is essential that the designer fathoms the impact of changing the main dimensions or form parameters of the ship and its stability.
The current investigation aims to evaluate the stability of passenger ship after changing the ship dimensions and parameters; by clarifying the impact of these changes on the ship’s stability and the allowed limitation of KG. The study is performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the intact and damage stability properties as well as the limiting KG for intact and damage stability after changing the main dimensions of a passenger ship.
Since the stability criteria are a result of the occurrence of casualties for some ships to avoid recurrence in the future as much as possible and to keep up with new developments in ship design, It has become necessary for the designer to understand the relationship between his choice of both the ship’s dimensions and parameters and its impact on the ship’s stability in particular.
The study relied on reforming certain modifications to the design of a passenger ship under construction using the Maxsurf program and compared the results after the amendment in its view before the amendment with the same displacement. These results include intact stability properties and also damage stability properties after imposing some fixed hull damage in a specific compartment of the vessel each time.
