Looking at the IR video of the port flat bottom above water after capsize I couldn't see any port rudder/prop so I thought they had been ripped...
<removed> Topic is the CC 80° list, which occured twice before/after the mysterious capsize January 14. Try to focus on it. ;)
Is this adressed to me? My analysis of the CC case is at http://heiwaco.tripod.com/news8.htm and I am of course willing to discuss it here or in...
Of course - anybody can do it. Here we discuss Costa Concordia which apparently was damaged in the hull just below waterline causing capsize...
1. Up-flooding of a damaged hull compartment via an opening in the hull depends on the area of the breach and its distance below water. It goes...

Well, it is not much to discuss any longer. Leave it or take it ... http://www.gl-group.com/pdf/MSC21682.pdf All calculations of survival are...
We will see! I find the various incidents very strange; shearing off and scooping up a 100 tons rock from an underwater outcrop with the side of a...
We all know that CC survived the first contact at around 21.42 hrs on January 13 causing flooding of w/t compartments and managed to anchor...
Hm, crew is not allowed to open any (permitted) w/t doors unless approved by Master and note made in log book, etc. And then close it at once +...
I like MSC.1/Circ.1380 10 December 2010 Annex 1.2 about GUIDANCE FOR WATERTIGHT DOORS ON PASSENGER SHIPS WHICH MAY BE OPENED DURING NAVIGATION a...
Nobody I know would like to pay a total loss of €415 million minus €30 million deductible if they could avoid it. So leading underwriter may...
No, the bulkhead deck is not watertight as all stairways down to the watertight compartments below pass through it. Only the hull up to the...
@smartbight Why was the stabilizer activated at departure? Weather was good, etc. No need to use it. Re boulder, it was thus part of an...
As you can see from below photo I have taken of the alleged location of the first incident - the contact [IMG] there are two rocks outside the...
It seems we agree that the bilge (keel) may have contacted the seabed because it becomes the deepest part of the vessel when heeled. But only the...
Well, somebody blames the Master having produced a sharp turn starboard (rudders swung out 35° which takes at least 20-30 seconds) when ship was...
Ok, ship's draught is 8.5 m, say, vertical side below waterline is 6.5 m, bilge radius is 2 m (same a height double bottom). 10° permanent heel...
Definition of an outcrop is a visible part above ground/seabed so if stabiliser fin at 6 meter draught passes it we know the top of the outcrop is...
Thanks - so the port bilge 8.5-6.5 m below water aft of the extended stabilizer fin (not damaged) contacted the sea floor (at some starboard...
