Offshore Technology Report Series

Provides information on the stability of floating Installations. Both intact and damaged stability are covered, as well as aspects which affect buoyancy and stability, such as watertight compartments and ballasting and bilge pumping systems.
While the information is intended for mobile Installations, including mobile offshore units (MOUs), it may be applied where appropriate to fixed floating Installations providing any special features of the permanent moorings or tethers are taken into account.
