General Precautions against Capsizing
Compliance with the Stability Criteria does not ensure immunity against capsizing regardless of
the circumstances. Operators onboard should therefore exercise prudence and good
seamanship having regard to the season of the year, Weather forecast and should take
appropriate action as warranted by the prevailing circumstances.
2. Loading conditions shown in this booklet are typical of those which may be encountered in
operation and are worked out to be used for guidance only.
3. All longitudinal levers, namely LCB, LCG, LCF are computed with reference to the AE of the
Floating Berth.
