Minimum stability criteria

Container ships

bullet The area under GZ curve should not be less than 0.009/C m-r up to an angle of heel of 30 degrees.
bullet The area under GZ curve should not be less than 0.016/C m-r up to an angle of heel of 40 degrees or angle of flooding (angle at which the lower edges of any openings in the hull, superstructures or deck houses, being openings which cannot be closed water tight are immersed) whichever is lower.
bullet The area of GZ curve between 30 degrees and 40 degrees should not be less than 0.006/C m-r.
bullet The righting lever shall be at least 0.033/C m at an angle of heal equal to or greater than 30 degrees.
bullet The maximum GZ should be 0.042/C m.
bullet The total area under the righting lever curve (GZ curve) up to the angle of flooding should not be less then 0.029/C m-r.
bullet In the stability criteria, C to be calculated as follows:

C = dD'/Bm2Ö(d/KG) X (CB/CW)2 X Ö(100/L)
