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).

This book is a selection of research papers presented in 5 consecutive International Ship Stability Workshops (ISSWs) managed by the STAB International Standing Committee in the period 2013–2019 (2013 Brest, 2014 Kuala Lumpur, 2016 Stockholm, 2017 Belgrade, 2019 Helsinki). ISSWs are a long-standing and authoritative series of international technical meetings in the field of stability of ships and ocean vehicles. The book is the fourth of a line of books started 20 years ago and having the main title “Contemporary Ideas on Ship Stability”. It focuses on the state-of-the-art ship stability criteria and covers topics such as ship dynamics in waves, roll damping, stability of damaged ships, model experiments, and effect of stability requirements on ship design and operation. This book helps the readers to understand the current state of the art in the field of ship stability and see how this comes into the development of modern criteria of ship design and operation.
