"Contemporary Ideas on Ship Stability" by D. Vassalos, M. Hamamoto, D. Molyneux, A. Papanikolaou (Repost)

This volume includes selected material from the first four workshops. It contains 46 papers that represent all currently available expertise on ship stability, spanning 17 countries from around the world.

Widely publicised disasters serve as a reminder to the maritime profession of the eminent need for enhancing safety cost-effectively and as a strong indicator of the existing gaps in the stability safety of ships and ocean vehicles.
The problem of ship stability is so complex that practically meaningful solutions are feasible only through close international collaboration and concerted efforts by the maritime community, deriving from sound scientific approaches.
