Abstract:

We address the impacts of free water surface distribution and tank capacity rate on the floatability and stability of a barge. We also calculate the stability criteria number under wind load. We further analyze the stability of one or two damaged tanks. Our analysis result has some reference for barge towing.

Key words: barge, tank, free water surface, stability
