Effect of Watertight Subdivision on Subdivision Index for Medium Size Ro–Ro Passenger Ferries
Journal Title: TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Ro-pax vessels should fulfil the requirements of the current harmonised SOLAS Convention. The study analyses the effect of various ro-pax vessel subdivision arrangements on the subdivision index. A Polish ferry was chosen as a generic ship to perform the study. For illustration of damage survivability, the attained subdivision index A was calculated for a number of modified configurations. The arrangements included single and double sides above and below the car deck, with and without a double buoyant car deck. The conclusions of the study can be used in the design of new ro-pax vessels.
