This textbook provides practice-oriented knowledge for calculating the floating position and capsize safety of ships and is thus a valuable aid for naval architects and nautical officers. The reader gains insight into the physical relationships governing the equilibrium of forces, moments and energy of a floating body and becomes acquainted with mathematical solution methods for calculating intact and damage stability. This knowledge is required at technical universities, in shipyards and yacht yards, in seafaring and by engineers working in maritime technology and offshore wind technology.

The core topics of the textbook are “hydrostatic equilibrium, numerical calculation of the hull form, parameters for assessing stability, safety regulations against sinking and capsizing, special cases (docking, grounding, launching) and methods of damage stability calculation”.
