Stability calculations by International Register of Shipping are a pivotal aspect of ensuring maritime safety. During the ship design phase, naval architects and designers perform intricate calculations to assess a vessel’s stability under various conditions, including intact and damaged stability. These calculations factor in parameters such as the ship’s geometry, weight distribution, metacentric height (GM), and response to external forces.

INTLREG composed of expert surveyors and engineers, meticulously review these calculations to ensure compliance with international regulations and industry standards. They assess stability booklets, damage stability calculations, and emergency response plans. Upon approval, the INTLREG issues certificates that attest to the ship’s stability and compliance.

In Panama, INTLREG concentrates on Stability calculations for the yachts and passenger vessels of 24m -75 m in length. Throughout a vessel’s operational life, INTLREG continues to play a crucial role by conducting periodic inspections to verify ongoing stability adherence. In summary, stability calculations, verified by International Register of Shipping, are essential for safeguarding vessels, crew, and the environment during maritime operations.
