Low transverse metacentric height and high speed are peculiar destabilizing factors in ship manoeuverability according to the attainable large heeling angles. The phenomenon indeed occurs in the case of vessels characterized by loading conditions with low transverse stability – e.g. high centre of mass of container vessels and ROROs: starting...
