✦ Synopsis

The maritime casualties cause serious consequences such as loss of life, property and maritime pollution. Therefore, the large-scaled casualties will be derived from loss of structural strength and stability due to the progressive flooding and enlargement of damage by the effect of wave and wind. The improvement of damage survivability is very important in maritime safety. In this paper, the knowledge-based system which could improve the safety level of stability and longitudinal strength through posture control of a damaged ship is studied. The system has been incorporated to interface with user to develop an 'operationally practical' action list based on ballasting to improve the ship's structural safety and stability status.
