• Resumen

  • Safe sailing requirements are of a special importance for passenger ships that are operating in inland waters. It is required to have the most entire technical documentation related to safety in Koman Lake situated in North of Albania, 30 km long eastward direction to the town of Fierza, where such vessels are operating. In this paper on focus is the case study to analyse the Stability of a boat that operates in Koman Lake and the Stability Characteristics fulfillment. The procedure followed in this case study based on: a) measurements to define the ship offsets, b) geometric modeling of ship hulls in CAD software, c) hydrostatic - stability calculations, and d) the verification of stability criteria. Such procedure used in this case of study would be considerade in other similar cases in internal water.
