Vulnerability Assessment for Excessive Acceleration Failure Mode of an Indonesian Ro-Ro Ferry by Model Experiment by Daeng Paroka, Andi Haris Muhammad, Sabaruddin Rahman

“…The damping factor corresponding to criteria levels 1 and 2 of the excessive acceleration failure mode given by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) may not be applied to the Indonesian ro-ro ferry due to the large breadth-to-draught ratio and the ratio between the distance of the center of gravity from the sea surface and ship draught. An alternative method to determine the damping factors becomes important in applying the criteria for the Indonesian ro-ro ferries. …”
