Summary of research on possibility of physical upper limit on midship bending moments in Mariner type ship being reached in regular waves of heights significantly less than theoretical upper limit of stability for progressive waves; experiments included variation of distribution of loading and of freeboard as model parameters, with tests at various speeds in regular head and following waves of different lengths and range of heights; no significant upper limit of bending moment was found.
