What does damage stability calculations involve?
Damage stability calculations show whether a vessel stays afloat and stable after one or more compartments are flooded. These are the main elements:
| Compartment model Defining watertight compartments, tanks and openings in an accurate 3D model of the vessel. |
Damage cases Setting up the damage scenarios that need to be assessed, from single to multiple compartment damage. |
Deterministic method Checking predefined damage cases against fixed criteria for the final and intermediate stages of flooding. |
| Probabilistic method Calculating the attained subdivision index and comparing it with the required index. |
Intermediate stages Assessing stability during the flooding process itself, not only in the final condition. |
Reporting Generating clear reports and documentation for approval by the classification society. |

Frequently asked questions about damage stability calculations
What are damage stability calculations?
Damage stability calculations determine whether a vessel remains afloat and sufficiently stable after one or more compartments have been flooded, for example after a collision or grounding.
What is the difference between probabilistic and deterministic damage stability?
The deterministic method checks a fixed set of damage cases against set criteria. The probabilistic method calculates the overall probability that a ship survives damage and compares it with a required index. Our software supports both.
What is the difference with intact stability?
Intact stability looks at an undamaged vessel, damage stability at a vessel with flooded compartments. Read more about ship stability.
Can SARC carry out the damage stability calculations for me?
Yes. Our engineers can perform the calculations and prepare the documentation. See our services.
