I don't see why not. The initial impact with the rock in the form of a side swipe at or around the bilge (at a draft of about 7.5 m) would have...
Estimated extent of flooding For those interested in a simulation of the incident I have analysed the photograph of the vessel as it grounded on...
Whilst we could argue over the presence or abscece of 'loll' in the first phase of the incident - both of which could be possible for vessels of...
There was clearly an angle of heel in the first stage of this incident from both passenger and video evidence, but not more than about 15 degrees....
This is an interesting demonstration of the effect of crossflooded wing tanks with only minor sinkage and no heel despite a hole only marginally...
Whilst applauding your efforts I must refer you back to my Post 20 which gives the Lpp for this vessel as 247.4m The waterline length will be a...
22 compartments at and average of 13.7 m long is significantly greater than the Concordia as far as we can gather. However, interesting that only...
Thanks for this reference I missed it in my browsings through the forum.
I am interested to know how you can state the 5 of 16 WT compartments were flooded? Mat8iou on the Simulating Costa Concordia Thread is equally...
I think you will find that the list to starboard was earlier a list to port - as indicated in the passenger testimony. At some point the vessel...
Is there any chance your reliable source has a diagram that could be passed on showing the distribution of these bulkheads?
Not as worth watching as I thought it should have been. It did confirm the blackout as 10 minutes after the impact which would correspond to both...
Deterministic rules do not assume any damage length - they simply require the ship designer to demonstrate that each transverse compartment of his...
I'm afraid your appraoch is no way to design a ship. Adequate beam to give enough initial stability undamaged together with adequate freeboard...
Terror at sea - the sinking of the concordia This might be worth watching:...
