Severe wind and rolling criterion (weather criterion)
The ability of a ship to withstand the combined effects of beam wind and rolling shall be demonstrated, with reference to figure presented below as follows:
.1 the ship is subjected to a steady wind pressure acting perpendicular to the ship’s centreline which results in a steady wind heeling lever (lw1);
.2 from the resultant angle of equilibrium (ϴ0), the ship is assumed to roll owing to wave action to an angle of roll (ϴ1) to windward. The angle of heel under action of steady wind (ϴ0) should not exceed 16° or 80% of the angle of deck edge immersion, whichever is less;
.3 the ship is then subjected to a gust wind pressure which results in a gust wind heeling lever (lw2); and
.4 under these circumstances, area b shall be equal to or greater than area a, as indicated in figure below:

where the angles in figure are defined as follows:
ϕ0 = angle of heel under action of steady wind

In applying this criterion, small openings through which progressive flooding cannot take place need not be considered as open

A damage stability analysis serves the purpose to provide proof of the damage stability standard required for the respective ship type. At present, two different calculation methods, the deterministic concept and the probabilistic concept are applied.
SCOPE OF ANALYSIS AND DOCUMENTATION ON BOARD
1. The scope of subdivision and damage stability analysis is determined by the required damage stability standard and aims at providing the ship’s master with clear intact stability requirements. In general, this is achieved by determining KG-respective GM-limit curves, containing the admissible stability values for the draught range to be covered.
2. Within the scope of the analysis thus defined, all potential or necessary damage conditions will be determined, taking into account the damage stability criteria, in order to obtain the required damage stability standard. Depending on the type and size of ship, this may involve a considerable amount of analyses.

SCOPE OF ANALYSIS AND DOCUMENTATION ON BOARD
3. Referring to SOLAS chapter regulation 19, the necessity to provide the crew with the relevant information regarding the subdivision of the ship is expressed, therefore plans should be provided and permanently exhibited for the guidance of the officer in charge. These plans should clearly show for each deck and hold the boundaries of the watertight compartments, the openings therein with means of closure and position of any controls thereof, and the arrangements for the correction of any list due to flooding. In addition, Damage Control Booklets containing the aforementioned information should be available.

DEFINITIONS
Subdivision length (Ls) – Different examples of Ls showing the buoyant hull and the reserve buoyancy are provided in the figures below. The limiting deck for the reserve buoyancy may be partially watertight.
The maximum possible vertical extent of damage above the baseline is ds + l2,5 m.
Freeboard deck Bulkhead deck
Light service draught (dl) – The light service draught (dl) represents the lower draught limit of the minimum required GM (or maximum allowable KG) curve. It corresponds, in general, to the ballast arrival condition with l0 % consumables for cargo ships. For passenger ships, it corresponds, in general, to the arrival condition with l0 % consumables, a full complement of passengers and crew and their effects, and ballast as necessary for stability and trim. The l0 % arrival condition is not necessarily the specific condition that should be used for all ships, but represents, in general, a suitable lower limit for all loading conditions. This is understood to not include docking conditions or
other non-voyage conditions.

ATTAINED SUBDIVISION INDEX A
The attained subdivision index A is determined by a formula for the entire probability as the sum of the products for each compartment or group of compartments of the probability that a space is flooded, multiplied by the probability that the ship will not capsize or sink due to flooding of the considered space. In other words, the general formula for the attained index can be given in the form:

INTERNATIONAL DAMAGE TRIM AND STABILITY
(SOLAS) REQUIREMENTS
27
ATTAINED SUBDIVISION INDEX A
Subscript i represents the damage zone (group of compartments) under consideration within the watertight subdivision of the ship. The subdivision is viewed in the longitudinal direction, starting with the aftmost zone/compartment.
The value of pi represents the probability that only the zone i under consideration will be flooded, disregarding any horizontal subdivision, but taking transverse subdivision into account. Longitudinal subdivision within the zone will result in additional flooding scenarios, each with its own probability of occurrence.
The value of si represents the probability of survival after flooding the zone i under consideration.

The effect of a three-dimensional damage to a ship with given watertight subdivision depends on the following circumstances:
.1 which particular space or group of adjacent spaces is flooded;
.2 the draught, trim and intact metacentric height at the time of damage;
.3 the permeability of affected spaces at the time of damage;
.4 the sea state at the time of damage; and
.5 other factors such as possible heeling moments due to unsymmetrical weights.

The probability that a ship will remain afloat without sinking or capsizing as a result of an arbitrary collision in a given longitudinal position can be broken down to:
.1 the probability that the longitudinal centre of damage occurs in just the region of the ship under consideration;
.2 the probability that this damage has a longitudinal extent that only includes spaces between the transverse watertight bulkheads found in this region;
.3 the probability that the damage has a vertical extent that will flood only the spaces below a given horizontal boundary, such as a watertight deck;
.4 the probability that the damage has a transverse penetration not greater than the distance to a given longitudinal boundary; and
.5 the probability that the watertight integrity and the stability throughout the flooding sequence is sufficient to avoid capsizing or sinking.
