Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations
What Does PROBABILISTIC Damage Stability Mean?
PROBABILISTIC = PROBABILITY!
Probability that a certain compartment in the ship is damaged!
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Short Historical Review Passenger Ships: • IMO Res. A265 – Probabilistic Damage Stability regulation (1973) • SOLAS 90 / 98 - Deterministic Damage Stability regulation • Stockholm Agreement (1998) Water on Deck
Dry Cargo Ships: • 1992: Damage Stability regulations for ships > 100 m • 1998: Damage Stability regulations for ships between 80 m and 100 m included in the existing regulations
HARMONIZATION!
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Short Historical Review • Harmonization started in the 1980ties by development of the probabilistic damage stability requirements for dry cargo ships • Passenger ships should have been included in the probabilistic framework keeping the same level of safety • 1992-1998: Harmonization process developing probabilistic damage stability regulations for both dry cargo ships and passenger ships • 2001: EU Project HARDER • ”Back to basic”! • Damage Statistics • Model Tests • Verification • New designs using the new frame work • 2005: The proposed damage stability regulations was adopted by MSC 20 May 2005 at the 80 session (Resolution MSC.194(80))

LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Summation of attained index: A = 0.4As + 0.4Ap + 0.2Al Assuming that a ship will trade: 40% of it’s time at the deepest subdivision draught 40% of it’s time at the partial subdivision draught 20% of it’s time at the lightest service draught
Minimum attained index on each draught: Each of the partial indices As , Ap and Al are not to be less than 0.9R for passenger ships and 0.5R for cargo ships!
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Trim: If the operational trim range of a vessel exceeds ±0,5% of Ls then probabilistic damage stability calculations with trim should be supplied
Several GM limit Curves have to be presented !
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Pi-factor: Probability that only the compartment or group of compartments under consideration may be flooded.
•
The parameters used for the determination of pi have been changed in the revised regulations • Maximum damage length changed from 48 m to 60 m • Damages of B/2 should be assumed (allowing penetration of longitudinal centre line bulkheads)
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Subdivision: There are no rules for the subdividing except that the length Ls defines the extremes for the actual hull. However, it is important to consider a strategy carefully to obtain a good result (large attained index A.)

Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Penetration factor r: • Factor r is the probability that a longitudinal bulkhead will not be breached by the damage. For each longitudinal bulkhead inside the ship’s side, an r-value will be calculated. The sum of all r-values from the shell to the B/2 limit equals unity • Factor p will be adjusted with factor r to obtain the final joint factor p
Damages of B/2 is now assumed (allowing penetration of longitudinal centre line bulkheads)
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Penetration factor r: • •
By default, damages should extend to B/2 A limit before B/2 can, however, be set

Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Factor v: • The factor v represents the probability that a watertight deck above the waterline remains intact, or in other words, whether or not the bow of an arbitrary ramming ship will be higher than the deck in question.
The maximum vertical extent of damage above a given waterline have changed from 7 m to 12.5 m!
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Factor v: Individual v-factors: • If H – d ≤ 0 • If H – d ≤ 7.8 • If 7.8 < H – d < 12.5 • If H - d ≥ 12.5

vi = 0 vi = 0.8(H - d) / 7.8 vi = 0.8 + 0.2((H - d) - 7.8) / 4.7 vi = 1
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Survivability Factor si: The value of “si” represents the probability of survival after flooding the zone “i" under consideration, and includes the probability of any horizontal subdivision remaining effective.
Passenger ships: Si = minimum { Sintermediate,I or Sfinal,i·Smom,i }
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Cargo ships: Si = Sfinal,i
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Intermediate Stages of Flooding: • Sintermediate,i is the probability to survive all intermediate stages of flooding until the final equilibrium stage • Only applicable to passenger ships!
⎡ GZ max Range ⎤ Sintermediate,i = ⎢ ⋅ 7 ⎥⎦ ⎣ 0 .05

Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Heeling Moments: • Smom,i is the probability to survive heeling moments • Only applicable to passenger ships! Smom,i =
(GZ max − 0.04) ⋅ Displacement M heel
≤1
The heeling moments Mheel is to be calculated as follows: Mheel = maximum { Mpassenger or Mwind or Msurvivalcraft }
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Openings and evacuation routes: • It is very important to take into account all weathertight and unprotected openings as they can have a large effect on the attained index! • The margin line definition is no longer in the regulations • Evacuation routes have been included instead
Si is to be taken as zero (no survivability) if: • The lower edge of unprotected or weathertight openings through which progressive flooding may take place, immerses, • Any part of the bulkhead deck in passenger ship considered a horizontal evacuation route or any vertical escape hatch will be immersed etc. • Immersion of control for operation of watertight doors, valves etc.
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Minor Damages for Passenger Ships (Regulation 8): In order not to capsize due to a very small damage, a minor damage concept for passenger ships have been introduced in the new regulations.
• Deterministic concept stating that a passenger ship have to survive a given damage extent. • Damage extent depending on the number of passengers. • 2 compartment damages!
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Probabilistic Damage Stability Regulations Requirements (revised SOLAS Part B-1) Double Bottom Damages (Regulation 9): A double bottom shall be fitted extending from the collision bulkhead to the aft peak bulkhead.
Any part of a passenger ship or a cargo ship that is not fitted with a double bottom in accordance with the specifications given in Reg. 9 shall be capable of withstanding bottom damages as specified in the regulation 9, paragraph 8 in that part of the ship!

Revision of the SPS Code • “Special personnel” means all persons who are not passengers or members of the crew (or children of under one year of age) and who are carried on board in connection with the special purpose of that ship or because of special work being carried out aboard that ship. • Wherever in the SPS Code, the number of special personnel appears as a parameter it should include the number of passengers carried on board which may not exceed 12. The requirements in the SPS Code depends on how many ”special personnel” are carried! MANY PERSONS – STRICTER REQUIREMENTS!
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Revision of the SPS Code The SPS Code, IMO Resolution A.534(13) is currently under revision in IMO. WHY? • To update references to current rules and regulations; • To reflect the new damage stability requirements in SOLAS, Chapter II-1 coming into force 1 January 2009

Ships with oil fuel capacity of 600m3 to 5000m3: w = 0.4 + 2.4C / 20,000 m where C = total oil fuel volume Minimum w = 1.0 m (except for individual tanks with a capacity < 500m3 minimum w = 0.76m.) 2. Ships with oil fuel capacity of 5000m3 and over: w = 0.5 + C / 20,000 m or, w = 2.0 m whichever is the lesser. Minimum w = 1.0 m. LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection •
Tanks with oil fuel piping located within ‘h’ and ‘w’ distances from the ship’s bottom and side shell to have special valve arrangements fitted.
•
Suction wells in oil fuel tanks may protrude into the double bottom below ‘h’ provided such wells are as small as practicable and that the distance between the well bottom and the bottom shell plating is not less than 0.5h.
ALTERNATIVE to side and bottom protection requirements •
Comply with the accidental oil fuel outflow performance standard in regulation12A
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection The Accidental Oil Fuel Outflow Performance Standard: •
Probabilistic Concept!
•
Mean Oil Outflow Parameter OM OM ≤ 0.0157 – 1.14E-6C OM ≤ 0.010
for 600 m3 ≤ C < 5000 m3
for C ≥ 5000 m3
C = Total oil fuel volume onboard
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection Assumptions for the Mean Oil Outflow Calculation: •
Ship assumed loaded to the partial loadline dp
•
All oil fuel tanks assumed loaded to 98% of their volumetric capacity
•
Nominal density of fuel oil taken as 1000 kg/m3
•
For the purpose of the outflow calculations, the permeability of each oil fuel tank shall be taken as 0.99, unless proved otherwise.
•
The calculation of the Mean Oil Outflow Parameter is based on a combination of side damages and bottom damages: OM = (0.4OMS + 0.6OMB)/C OMS = Mean outflow for side damage [m3] OMB = Mean outflow for bottom damage [m3]
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection Mean outflow for side damage OMS: n
•
OMS =
∑ PS(i )OS(i ) i
PS(i) = The probability of penetrating oil fuel tank i from side damage OS(i) = The outflow, in m3, from side damage to oil fuel tank i, which is assumed equal to the total volume in oil fuel tank i at 98% filling. i
= each oil fuel tank under consideration
n
= total number of oil fuel tanks
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection Mean outflow for bottom damage OMB: •
OMB = 0.7OMB(0) + 0.3OMB(2.5) where: OMB(0) = Mean outflow for 0 m tide condition; OMB(2.5) = Mean outflow for -2.5 m tide condition. The mean outflow for bottom damage shall be calculated for each tidel condition as follows: n
•
OMb(0) =
∑ PB(i )OB(i )CDB(i ) i

where: PB(i) = The probability of penetrating oil fuel tank i from bottom damage OB(i) = The outflow, in m3, from bottom damage to oil fuel tank i. CDB(i) = Factor to account for oil capture in other tanks i
= each oil fuel tank under consideration
n
= total number of oil fuel tanks
LLOYD’S REGISTER EMEA Copenhagen Design Support Centre
Regulation 12A - Oil fuel tank protection Practical Experience: •
Regulation 12A is a MAJOR design driver for newbuildings as should be taken seriously in the early design fase.
•
In some ship types, it is difficult to find enough space for the protected fuel oil tanks.
•
Will have a major impact on conversions in the future.
•
The probabilistic oil outflow performance standard in Regulation 12A is difficult to fulfil.
