The chapter describes main principles of intact and damage stability, including the latest probabilistic (SOLAS 2020) and older deterministic damage stability rules (SOLAS 90). Simple calculation examples are shown for calculating GM and free surface effect. Meaning of the “load line mark” seen on the side of every ship is explained and a useful quick means to estimate the stability of a cruise ship project is presented. Principle of an inclining test, or “weighing a ship”, is explained, along with description of how the weight of cruise ships continuously increases as the ship ages.
