Dead ship condition is one mode of stability failure. This scenario assumes that a ship has lost its power and has turned into beam seas, where it is rolling under the action of waves as well as heeling and drifting under the action of wind. (SDC 3/WP.5/Annex 6 2016).
Figure 1shows the process by which dead ship stability failure develop. Firstly, the ship moves with drift-related heel under wind aerodynamic force and hydrodynamic reaction caused by transverse motion. Next, the ship encounters a sudden and long gust of wind. When the ship rolls at the maximum windward angle, this is assumed to be the worst possible instant, action of wind is added to the action of waves. The strengthening wind increases drift velocity and this leads to an increase of the hydrodynamic drift reaction. The increase of the hydrodynamic reaction leads to the increase of the heeling moment. The gust is assumed to last long enough so the...
