    What Are The Three Types of Ship Stability

    The three types of ship stability are stable equilibrium, neutral equilibrium, and unstable equilibrium. Stable equilibrium allows a ship to return to its initial position when tilted by external forces. Neutral equilibrium occurs when a ship's center of gravity and metacenter are in the same position, making it inclined but not stable or unstable. Unstable equilibrium causes a ship to be at risk of capsizing if stability remains compromised for long.

    What are the three types of ship stability?

     
    The 3 types of ship stability are the stable equilibrium, neutral equilibrium, and unstable
    equilibrium. (1) Stable equilibrium is the state wherein your ship’s stability is stable or
    balanced on both sides. It can also return to its initial position whenever it tilts on the
    other side as it is healed by external forces. (2) Neutral equilibrium is the state wherein
    the ship’s center of gravity and metacenter can be found in the same position. It is also
    inclined with external forces. (3) Unstable equilibrium is the condition wherein the
    stability of the vessel is unstable or unsteady due to the negativity of the ship’s stability.
    It can cause a ship to capsize if the stability remains unstable for a long period of time.

    What is moment of statical stability?

    The “moment of statistical stability'' is the moment of the ship’s stability that helps return a ship
    to upright position when it is inclined. It also serves as a calculation for statistical data regarding
    the appropriate number of loads to be taken on board to avoid an unstable state of stability.

    How do you maintain the stability of a ship?


    We can maintain the stability of a ship through following the proper standards in terms
    of loading cargo wherein we need to always monitor if it fits the criteria of an adequate
    weight of the cargoes to avoid overloading and any possible dangers. Keeping excess
    water off and being responsible towards our duties can be one the factors that would
    help maintain the stability of a ship. 
    What is meant by angle of loll?

    Angle of loll can be described as a condition in which a ship/vessel is unbalanced or


    unsteady while being upright that causes it to incline or tilt to either side of the vessel (port or
    starboard).  It also displays some features of stable equilibrium. In addition, angle of loll is the
    result of the influence of large free surfaces or the lack of stability due to the damaged
    compartments.       

    Why angle of loll is dangerous?

               Despite a vessel of the angle of loll showing or exhibiting some features a stable
    equilibrium, it can also be dangerous. Angles of loll can be dangerous mainly because it can
    result in a ship/vessel capsizing. That is why a quick and rapid response or action is required to
    prevent the danger from happening.

    What is righting moment?

    Righting moment is the most efficient way of calculating or measuring the overall
    stability of a vessel/ship. It can be calculated through multiplying the ship’s righting arm into
    the ship’s displacement.
