Abstract | The paper addresses the problem of verification of damage stability requirements of tank ships prior to depar-ture. The surveys conducted by some IMO Member Governments show that a considerable number of tank ships sail in loading conditions different from those contained in approved stability booklets and furthermore the masters have no means to check compliance with relevant damage stability criteria prior to departure. In this context the Sub-Committee on Stability and Load Lines and on Fishing Vessels Safety (SLF) was tasked by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) to consider the matter and to elaborate proper guidelines for verification of damage stability criteria for tankers. It was decided that the guidelines would address both design and operational issues. The paper considers the current state of the Sub-Committee‟s work and in par-ticular the terms of reference for Intersessional Correspondence Group established at SLF 53 in January 2011 |
