This document introduces some basic principles of the stability of small fishing vessels and provides simple guidance on what fishing vessel crews can do to maintain adequate stability for their vessels. It is not intended to be a complete course on fishing vessel stability. The publication is aimed at fishers and their families, fishing vessel owners, boat builders, competent authorities and others who are interested in the safety of fishing vessels and fishers. It may also serve as a guide for those concerned with training in matters of safety of fishing vessels.

This report presents the results of the third and last task in the study of intact stability criteria for towing and fishing vessels. This third task was the analysis, development, and evaluation of intact stability criteria based on the model testing and analysis work done under tasks one and two. Criteria are proposed for the following operating conditions: towing (self-tripping and tow-tripping modes of capsizing), where water on deck is encountered, in following seas, and in wind. An analysis of the encounter of certain groups of waves is described. The proposed criteria are applied to 51 different towing and fishing vessels and the results are compared to existing practice. Recommendations are made for future research.

In response to a continuing high loss of commercial fishing vessels and crews, the U.S. Congress has mandated development of new safety requirements for the industry. This volume provides a blueprint for an integrated national safety program that responds realistically to industry conditions, with priority on the most cost-effective alternatives. Fishing Vessel Safety addresses the role of the U.S. Coast Guard and the fishing industry and evaluates such safety measures as vessel inspection and registration, and the training and licensing of fishermen. It explores vessel condition, the role of human behavior, the problem of weather prediction, the high cost of insurance, and more.

Results of a model test program, the second task of a three task study of stability criteria for towing and fishing vessels, are presented in this report. The tests covered both tripping and seakeeping of four models. The models were selected from a detailed study of fifty-one towing and fishing vessels carried out in Task One. A discussion of the testing methods and limited analysis of the data are included. This volume contains all strip chart recordings taken from tests during this program. See Report CG-D-3-76, the main Task II report, for test details. (Author).

The International Code on Intact Stability 2008 (2008 IS Code), presents mandatory and recommendatory stability criteria and other measures for ensuring the safe operation of ships, to minimize the risk to such ships, to the personnel on board and to the environment. The 2008 IS Code took effect on 1 July 2010. The 2008 IS Code features:a full update of the previous IS Code; criteria based on the best state-of-the-art concepts available at the time they were developed, taking into account sound design and engineering principles and experience gained from operating ships; influences on intact stability such as the dead ship condition, wind on ships with large windage area, rolling characteristics and severe seas. This publication also presents Explanatory Notes to the 2008 IS Code, intended to provide administrations and the shipping industry with specific guidance to assist in the uniform interpretation and application of the intact stability requirements of the 2008 IS Code.
