Summary
This information sheet addresses research indicating that existing jack-up damage-stability survivability criteria may be inadequate in certain environmental conditions. It advises reassessment of installation capability and caution during wet towing, with reviews of contingency arrangements, crew instructions and training to support rapid evacuation, escape and rescue following significant flooding.
Classifications: Loss of vessel stability; capsize; vessel stability.
