Abstract
- The article discusses the consideration of capsizing time in the design and provisioning of roll-on roll-off (RoRo) ferry boats to improve passenger survivability during accidents. It takes note of the hull flooding, vehicle deck breach and rolling over stages of sinking such that the estimated time to capsizing formula equates to the ship displacement over the fill rate. Scale model studies of professor C.T. Ross on the sinking of the MV Herald of Free Enterprise are also discussed.
