This paper presents a new approach for predicting ship survival time together with the progress achieved to date in its development. Many aspects need further investigation to either validate or disprove different elements of the method. The main aspect of the new approach, derived from the SEM (Static Equivalent Method) principles, is direct association of the characteristics of the waves with the process of water ingress and egress, and thus with vessel survivability. Although vessel capsize is a case of limit state behavior, a physical process that is highly sensitive to variation of many governing factors, it is anticipated that observed regularities in capsizing will lead to identification of a functional representation of this sensitivity in the near future.
