Popis: The Static Equivalency Method (SEM) developed by the Strathclyde University research team offers a simple predictor of capsize for a wide range of ship conditions. Data generated by Transport Canada's experiment program of capsize investigations was reanalyzed to investigate the validity of the predictor equations, and their range of applicability. Excellent agreement was found for cases in which the dynamic roll component of ship behaviour is small and where internal sloshing is limited, in particular for ships with centreline casings. The SEM capsize predictor was also applied successfully to cases with freeing ports, though more work is needed to define water buildup under these conditions. Some limitations of the model predictions were highlighted, and potential sources of error identified. Results of the project were used to provide recommendations as to how the SEM could be applied as a component of deterministic or fully probabilistic damaged stability criteria.
