- Abstract
The paper presents the importance of ship's intact stability. It is evidenced the factors that contribute to correlation between ship's stability with safety of ship and safety of navigation. Ship stability failure is presented as a threat to safety of navigation and this aspect is presented in a form of casualties involved in loss of ship stability in severe sea conditions in order to emphasis the causes that leads to ship stability loss. A study of various ship stability casualties in heavy weather conditions is presented and the causes are analysed. The actual intact ship stability criteria are analysed and the importance of a new generation of stability criteria for preventing ship stability loss in severe sea conditions is highlighted.
