LOCOPIAS module: Damage stability

Damage Stability – Confidence in Compliance, Even in Critical Conditions

The Damage Stability module in LOCOPIAS provides powerful and precise tools to ensure your vessel meets all mandatory damage stability requirements — not only at the final stage of flooding, but also throughout the intermediate phases, even with asymmetric flooding. This makes the module fully compliant with Type 1, 2, and 3 stability software standards, offering a level of detail far beyond basic Type 4 compliance.

Using a direct-calculation approach, LOCOPIAS accurately simulates liquid behavior in tanks, including free-surface effects. Instead of applying generalized corrections, it calculates the actual shift of the liquid’s center of gravity — avoiding the excessive conservatism of traditional free-surface moment corrections, especially when tanks are nearly full or empty.

The software also takes into account potential outflow from damaged tanks, recognizing that the stability impact of a breached full tank is very different from that of an empty one. This level of realism ensures that every scenario is assessed with maximum accuracy.

Need to evaluate a specific incident? The Damage Control interface lets you model real-time emergency scenarios by manually selecting damaged compartments. LOCOPIAS immediately recalculates the resulting condition, giving crew or planners a fast and reliable picture of the vessel’s survivability.

Whether you’re designing, operating, or auditing, the Damage Stability module provides the clarity and confidence needed to navigate the most critical situations.
