Popis: A coastwise chemical tanker sailing at full speed has capsized in calm water and while turing. We investigate reasons of the accident and demonstrate that a proper correction for the free surface effect of the liquid cargo has not been practiced in the initial design stage and that the bow-sinkage induced in sailing has weakened the form stability of the ship. It is also shown that the liquid cargo shift occurring in turning generated a significant outward heel moment.
