Ship floodability

Abstract: Every damage to a ship results in certain effects, ie flooding water over one or more watertight compartments, which affects changes in stability and position of the ship. Determination of these changes is the basis for the sub-capacity calculations related to the operation of a damaged ship. During the ship's operation, unusual damage not anticipated in the stability documentation may occur, so it is necessary to know the methods of calculating the subdivision. During the ship's operation at sea a fire is a significant threat to his safety. It rarely causes sinking of the ship, however, the damage that it leaves is usually very serious and as always, depending on the level of crew training in the area of emergency response. The main extinguishing agent used on ships is usually sea water, which in large quantities poses a threat to the stability and submarine of the ship. Therefore, the main focus of the work was to determine the impact of flooding of high-stability compartments of the ship. The results of the calculations presented in the work include information on the amount of water in the range causing deterioration of the stability of the ship.
