Vadim Belenky News

To say this book is a collection of research would be an understatement. “Contemporary Ideas on Ship Stability: Risk of Capsizing” is more like a preservation of knowledge covering the last nine years.Dr. Vadim Belenky, a naval architect in the Simulations and Analysis Branch at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, was the editor in chief for the book, the chapters of which are papers from engineers, naval architects and professors from around the world. Belenky himself co-authored four of the papers…

ABS has awarded three ships in the Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (HMM) fleet with what is believed to be the first class notation specific to parametric roll issued to industry. The optional class notation was issued against criteria contained in the ABS Guide For The Assessment Of Parametric Roll Resonance In The Design Of Container Carriers, which provides design and analysis measures to determine if a particular vessel is vulnerable to parametric roll and the potential magnitude of the roll motions. It was the first class criteria addressing the subject that is firmly based on ship motion analysis supported by extensive simulations. The “PARR C1” notation has been granted to the 4700 TEU Hyundai Forward, and 8600 TEU vessels Hyundai Faith and Hyundai Force.
