Launceston, Hunter Maritime College
Introduction
Controlling and managing the stability of the vessel when at sea and in port to ensure the safety of the vessel, its cargo and crew is a prime domain of responsibility of the ship's officer. This unit focuses on the conceptual knowledge and practical application of ship stability on commercial vessels.
A student completing this unit will be able to apply various stability concepts addressing aspects in statical and dynamical stability, ensuring that regulatory recommendations are met and that the vessel maintains its stability under all conditions of its operation. It is further designed to blend the theoretical concepts with real life experience; using typical shipboard stability applications. The unit will build up on the knowledge attained in Ship Stability & Seaworthiness unit of the Watchkeeper study and is a core unit of the final year. This unit meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package MAR60213, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-II/2 of the STCW code.
