6.2 Rolling behavior <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> large vessels<br />

riences signicant higher transversal accelerations on <strong>the</strong> bridge up to 10 m /s 2 , than within <strong>the</strong><br />

loading condition summarized in table 6.7. As in <strong>the</strong> CE alike loading condition, <strong>the</strong> maximum<br />

value occurs for a GM solid <strong>of</strong> about 9 m. The associated curves for both loading conditions are<br />

shown in gure 6.6. For comparison, <strong>the</strong> situation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chicago Express in its accident<br />

loading condition is also shown.<br />

The results prove <strong>the</strong> given presumption for Vessel No. 11 to be correct, too. A ra<strong>the</strong>r slight<br />

variation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> oating condition leads <strong>the</strong> vessel to <strong>the</strong> risk <strong>of</strong> experiencing very high transversal<br />

accelerations on its bridge. Therefore all vessels, including <strong>the</strong> large vessels have an increased<br />

risk <strong>of</strong> accident in <strong>the</strong> examined seaways.<br />

In addition, <strong>the</strong> curves in gure 6.6 conrm <strong>the</strong> statement, already given in chapter 5.2. This<br />

examination clearly shows, that <strong>the</strong> problem <strong>of</strong> high accelerations on <strong>the</strong> bridge is denitely not<br />

a pure <strong>stability</strong> problem. Here <strong>the</strong> dierences between <strong>the</strong> two loading condition sets, listed<br />
