The use of the probabilistic concept in assessing the residual stability standards of existing ro-ro passenger ships

 (The text below contains only the probabilistic parts of IMO Resolution A.265(VIII) which are to be applied for this assessment only)

The primary objective is to calculate the attained subdivision index `A', by modifying the normal calculation procedure as indicated below, for a substantial sample of existing ro-ro passenger ships.

Therefore, it is only necessary to consider those parts of regulations 1 to 8 inclusive which should apply for the sake of this exercise.

Of these eight regulations, all those which are deterministic in nature are either ignored or adapted to conform to probabilistic principles.
