Statutory and Operational Damage Stability by a Monte Carlo Based Approach

The paper describes the extension of a Monte Carlo based damage stability simulation method for generation approval documents both statutory and operational stability. intention this development is that advantages concept can be used without necessity to ask alternative design procedures during by classification society. This means same documentation must generated as conventional calculation. To generate required documentation, individual probabilities each case have determined different cases sorted into so called zones, which societies. Within one zone, splitting was found necessary avoid computation greater than 1. extended then applied operation ships, now in situ real loading conditions, makes ship more flexible. new capability also interesting those ships carry substantial amount project deck cargo.
