Abstract

Demand for cruise ships has increased significantly in recent years. The design of passenger vessels has changed significantly to reflect customer requirements and the need to increase income earning capacity. The current investigation aims to understand the impact of changing the main dimensions or form proportions on the ship’s stability and the allowed limitation to KG. The study is performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the intact and damage stability properties as well as the limiting KG for intact and damage stability after changing the main dimensions of a passenger ship.
