Emsa Puts Solas To The Test

摘要

Hamburg-based test facility HSVA has been tasked by EMSA with calculating water on deck in the case of ro-ro passenger vessels, with a view to amending Directives 2003/25/EC and 98/18/EC. The purpose of the six month project is to investigate whether the safety level of ro-pax ships designed according to SOLAS 2009 is adequate. For this research a consortium was created under the leadership of the HSVA consisting of the FSG-Shipyard, the design office SDC in Hamburg, the Hamburg University of Technology TUHH and the HSVA. Damage stability of two ro-pax ships designed by the FSG-Shipyard will be investigated according to different stability rules, using numerical simulation and with model tests of the damaged vessels in irregular seas.
