| Abstract | The application of new damage stability requirements in the 1990 Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) amendments to the United States domestic passenger fleet is investigated. The amendments specify new minimums for positive range, righting energy, and downflooding angle, maximum static heeling moments such as passenger crowding and wind loading. Twenty-one domestic passenger ships of recent design are analyzed for their ability to comply in damaged conditions as specified by the Coast Guard regulations. Design modifications required to bring about compliance for those vessels failing the requirements are briefly addressed. A comparison of ability to comply versus certain hydrostatic parameters is made, as well as a set of recommendations to the Coast Guard. |
