ABSTRACT

Dynamics of damaged ships has repelled close attention until the 1980s, following ground shaking accidents (Herald of Free Enterprise, 1987 and Estonia, 1994). Research since then continues unabated, in the knowledge that damage stability is responsible for 90% of deaths in the maritime industry. Notwithstanding this, safety even in the most advanced maritime nations is still being perceived as unnecessary burden and, as such, it receives attention only as damage reducing exercise. Design for safety and risk-based design have made tremendous inroads in delivering the message that due attention to safety over the life-cycle of the vessel provides the right platform for a cost-effective economic activity whilst serving the higher societal goals. This paper targets to reinforce this belief by providing a methodological treatment of damage ship dynamics whilst addressing the ensuing risk of flooding and offering solutions that have found their way in the maritime industry.

摘要

直到 1980 年代，由于发生地面震动事故（Herald of Free Enterprise，1987 和爱沙尼亚，1994），受损船舶的动力学一直受到密切关注。从那时起，研究继续有增无减，因为我们知道破坏稳定性是造成海运业 90% 死亡的原因。尽管如此，即使在最先进的海洋国家，安全仍被视为不必要的负担，因此，它仅作为减少损害的演习受到关注。安全设计和基于风险的设计在传递这样一个信息方面取得了巨大进展，即在船舶生命周期内对安全的适当关注为具有成本效益的经济活动提供了正确的平台，同时服务于更高的社会目标。
