Description
Merchant Ship Stability – Metric Edition is a textbook on ship stability that builds up the material from basic principles to more comprehensive calculations. The book is aimed at seafarers and students who need a coherent understanding of stability theory.
The metric edition uses SI-based measurements and describes how stability information is presented and applied. The foundational material in the early chapters makes it possible to engage with the subject even without extensive prior knowledge, before the presentation moves on to more demanding questions.
The seventh edition has reworked and expanded content, including a dedicated chapter on stability information. The book is suitable for teaching, self-study, and revision for deck officers. The vessel’s own approved stability data must always form the basis for operational decisions.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. 7th edition, 2011. ISBN: 9781849270236.
