The course gives a general description of the development of ship damage stability standards, taking especially in consideration relevant accidents and the identification of weak points in the deterministic standards. A comprehensive description of the theoretical foundations of the probabilistic method, in general, will then be provided. This will be followed by an overview of the existing regulations (Resolution. A.265[VIII], MSC.19(58)) based on the probabilistic method, with special emphasis on the differences between different regulations. The new harmonized probabilistic regulations will also be reviewed. These methods will be applied through case studies, aiming to highlight some common difficulties found in its application. Hydrodynamic part of the course will be devoted to wave-induced loads on damaged ships with particular emphasize on differences between wave loads on intact and damaged ships. This course requires the students to have familiarity with undergraduate mathematics and statistics Exercises will be mainly carried out in a computerized classroom. To perform the exercises there is an academic network license application (GHS) General Hydrostatics System in which the problems of the damaged ship stability for different types of ships and damage are modeled.
