2.15 Buoyancy and stability in the displacement mode following damage

 Following any of the postulated damages detailed in 2.6.6 to 2.6.11, in addition to satisfying the requirements of 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, the craft in still water shall have sufficient buoyancy and positive stability to simultaneously ensure that the angle of inclination of the craft from the horizontal does not normally exceed 15° in any direction. However, where this is clearly impractical, angles of inclination up to 20° immediately after damage but reducing to 15° within 15 minutesfootnote may be permitted provided that efficient non-slip deck surfaces and suitable holding points are provided.
