ˆ The limiting <strong>intact</strong> <strong>stability</strong> criterion (Area (30, 40) = 0.030 m · rad) requires a<br />

GM min = 0.65 m.<br />

The calculated transversal accelerations on <strong>the</strong> bridge <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> rolling angles for <strong>the</strong> three accident<br />

conditions are listed in table 4.26.<br />

Situation 2 15.0 36<br />

Situation 3 12.5 32<br />

The maximum acceleration occurs for accident situation 2. The transversal acceleration <strong>of</strong><br />

15 m /s 2 in accident situation 2 is <strong>the</strong> highest value that occurs in <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> simulations.<br />

Mentionable is <strong>the</strong> fact, that all smaller vessels analysed in this chapter, are critical in accident<br />

situation 2, while for <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r vessels <strong>the</strong> critical situation is situation 3. Apparently <strong>the</strong> seaway<br />

in situation 2 with a shorter signicant wave period <strong>of</strong> T S = 8.5 s stronger excites <strong>the</strong> small<br />

vessels. The statistical distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> transversal accelerations in this situation is shown in<br />

gure 4.26.<br />
