In this paper, a program for the calculation of GZ curve for a ship in waves is developed and GZ curves for a ferry in the still water and in waves are calculated. And the added mass, damping, restoring forces and wave exciting forces are calculated by using the strip theory given by Salvesen, Tuck, Faltinsen. Capsizing simulations are perfoned in consideration if the nonlinear restoring forces of the ship in waves by using the Runge-Kutta 4-th method.

All ships should ensure stability in accordance with IMO regulations. However, GM is only used to determine ship stability because it takes a lot of time to validate all regulations. This is a problem given that the safety of vessels cannot be guaranteed, potentially leading to accidents. There is a need for a more intuitive and comprehensive method of confirming the stability of ships. This study developed a stability index that expresses ship stability in one value. An index equation is defined based on the 6 stability criteria for ships prescribed by IMO and the result of calculating the ship stability of a model ship. A stability index has been derived for each loading condition by applying the index equation to the same ship. It can clearly be seen that this stability index appropriately explains the criteria. In other words, it is possible to assess ship stability with one value and confirm whether the ship stability satisfies IMO regulations. This index will help masters and officers more easily and accurately check ship stability.

The aim of present study is to evaluate the stability of GM(Metacentric Height) calculation and investigate the damping effect of free rolling test. Moreover, GZ(Righting arm in stability) curve shows that it can provide reasonable design conditions for Fish boat. The roll damping characteristics of the improved model for an 7.9 ton class fishing boat are investigated through the free roll test in towing tank. The safety and boarding sensitivity are evaluated by GM calculation and roll motion period. Therefore, the results in this paper describe that the effect for improved hull is more improved than the original hull.

For the mechanism of ship capsizing, we can generally consider that it\`s caused due to pure loss of stability, parametric oscillation(low cycle resonance) of ship in waves and the broaching phenomena. Among them, low cycle resonance occurs due to the dynamic change of righting arm with respect to the relative position of ship to waves. The dynamic change depends on the encounter period of a ship in following waves. This paper discusses the following items : (1) An analytical expression of GZ curve varying with respect to the relative position of ship to waves, (2) Non-linear equation of motion describing low cycle resonance, (3) The effects of righting arm, stability range and encounter period on low cycle resonance.

IMO stability regulations include various stability parameters such as GM values. To assess the stability of the ships, we should check all stability parameters of the IMO requirements. However, since this process is complex, a more convenient way to evaluate stability performance is required. In this research, the index for marine ship intact stability assessment (IMSISA) model was developed to solve these problems. The IMSISA model consists of a stability index calculation module and a stability assessment module. In the stability index calculation module, ten stability parameters, including GM, were used to develop the stability index, which has the advantage of being able to quantify the ship stability. The stability assessment module uses the stability index value to determine the stability status of the ship and provides the captain with stability management guidelines. To verify the proposed model, the basic stability calculations were performed for two model ships in 32 loading situations. The proposed model was found to provide better performance in the stability assessment than the previous study. By applying the IMSISA model to the ships, the captain can assess the ship stability more quantitatively and efficiently.
