Future of Ship Stability
Paper in proceeding, 2024

The paper discusses the future of ship stability as a scientific and engineering discipline, in view of the possibilities for making progress in the “conventional” ship stability topics by employing advanced numerical tools (such as CFD), artificial intelligence techniques (such as machine learning), high-performance computing, increased connectivity, and unprecedented availability of the stability-relevant data. The paper also addresses the emerging ship stability issues prompted by energy transition and autonomous shipping, which are not in the focus of the maritime research community and, at the same time, lack adequate regulatory support. The present view of the evolution of ship stability is provided in the conclusions.
