A stability accident is one of the worst things that can happen to a ship. This two-volume set brings together the mass of information available in one practical reference and is essential reading to all concerned with the prevention against capsizing.
Reviews / Votes
"At present this book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of knowledge on the subject." --Jeffrey M.Falzarano (SNAME News)On Professor Kobylinski, "He has been involved in stability related research for many years and is completely knowledgeable in this specific aspect. He traces the development of stability rules from the very beginning to the present day. He clearly explains the physical background and assumptions used in developing these rules in order to understand their limitations and application." --Jeffrey M.Falzarano (SNAME News)
