SERVICE 03 / OVERVIEW

Stability & hydrostatics

Stability work connects the vessel’s geometry, lightship data and operating conditions. We prepare calculations and documentation for the agreed vessel configuration and assess the criteria identified for its type, service, flag and class.

We define the work around your vessel configuration, the information available and the purpose of the required assessment or submission.
