AB  - The collection of data on accidents in inland navigation is not mandatory in many European countries. The lack of a harmonized methodology or a centralized database of information on accidents makes it difficult to have a comprehensive picture of safety on European inland waterways. The problem becomes particularly evident in light of significant navigational challenges such as the introduction of autonomous shipping. To provide a better understanding of safety in inland navigation, the paper presents the results of an analysis of data on some 700 accidents which took place on the inland waterways in Austria and Serbia, over a 15-year period (2001/2002–2017). The analysis identifies the safety “hot spots” and the most important safety issues on examined waterways. Contrary to the widely-accepted belief, the results do not confirm that most of the accidents could be attributed to human failures and show that the removal of human operators from inland vessels could only have a limited positive impact on safety unless other aspects (primarily related to maintenance of the fleet and the waterway) are considered. Consequently, the paper outlines the fundamental conditions in which it would be possible to reduce the human presence or even remove the crew from inland ships.

AB  - Proper estimation of roll damping moment is of paramount importance for adequate assessment of dynamic stability of ships. However, experimental data on roll damping of inland vessels are scarce and unreliable. Thus, the applicability of the classic Ikeda’s method and its simplified version on typical European inland vessels is investigated, with specific focus on eddy making component. It is found that the simplified Ikeda’s method, in comparison to the classic method, may considerably underestimate the eddy making component of damping of full hull forms, or even return negative values, although the block coefficient is within the limits of method applicability. This deficiency of the simplified Ikeda’s method does not affect inland vessels only, but it is equally relevant for seagoing ships with high block coefficients. Hence, the paper explores the possibilities of adjusting the simplified Ikeda’s method in order to improve the observed shortcoming, as well as to extend its application to stability analysis of inland ships.

AB  - The Vessel Train is a novel semi-autonomous waterborne transport concept which implies a convoy of digitally connected vessels. Only the first vessel in the Vessel Train (the so-called “lead vessel”) is fully manned, while the remaining vessels (the so-called “following vessels”) are remotely controlled from the lead vessel and thus may sail either with a reduced crew or with the crew off-duty. The Vessel Train was the subject of the research project NOVIMAR (NOVel Iwt and MARitime transport concepts), funded by the European Commission within the framework of the Horizon 2020 program. One of the tasks of the project concerned the design of novel vessels for the Vessel Train. The Vessel Train ships were designed in compliance with a specific requirement: to utilize the horizontal (Ro-Ro) container handling. Additionally, two inland vessels had to fulfil another condition: to have as low design draught as possible, so as to provide for uninterrupted navigation even during the low-water periods which tend to be extended and more extreme on all major European inland waterways. Both the Ro-Ro handling of containers and the shallow draught considerably affect the ship general arrangement, cargo stowage and handling, structural strength, intact and damage stability, etc. Thus, this paper discusses the challenges encountered in design of large inland container Ro-Ro vessels with extremely shallow draughts, intended for the use in the Vessel Train.

AB  - The regulatory approach to stability assessment of seagoing ships has significantly evolved during the last two decades, which resulted in the introduction of the probabilistic damage stability regulations and development of the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria by the International Maritime Organization. The ship stability regulations for inland vessels, however, have not followed a similar path. This paper investigates the present intact and damage stability requirements intended for large inland passenger ships (LIPS), offers a critical analysis of the present stability regulations, highlights the need for a global harmonization of regulations, and probes into the hierarchy of the stability requirements for LIPS. The investigation is performed on two ships which belong to the classes of the largest inland passenger ships presently used for river cruises in Europe. It was found that damage stability generally dominates the stability requirements of LIPS, and that the stability assessment may substantially depend on the choice of Flag, even if the ships are intended for the same inland waterway. Significant discrepancies in stability assessments performed according to different regulations bring into focus the question of reliability of the present regulatory framework for stability of LIPS.

AB  - Objective This study investigates the implementation of the waterborne platooning transport concept in two of the largest European inland navigation corridors, the Rhine and the Danube region. Each region has different geo-economic and environmental features. These features are compared, and their effects on implementing a waterborne platooning transport concept are studied. The waterborne platooning concept, referred to as the Vessel Train, aims to reduce crew cost by automating the navigation tasks and moving the navigational responsibility to the leading vessel of the platoon, which is fully manned. Methods The implementation of the Vessel Train is assessed by making use of a developed model, which allows the assessment of the concept's viability by comparing the annual cost per transported ton of a reference vessel that sails individually to a vessel that sails as a part of a VT on the same route. Results The results conclude that the application of waterborne platooning on the Rhine is more promising than on the Danube. The low wages hamper the implementation of the concept on the Danube in the region, the low traffic density on the waterway, and the common use of large push tows instead of self-propelled vessels. Implications for research As determined in the analysis for the Rhine case, a reduction in transport cost would make waterborne transport more attractive. However, other factors, such as the further integration of the VT in the overall supply chain, play a role in the successful implementation of this IWT transport concept. Applying the VT concept in the Danube case requires more potential cargo flows, which can be obtained by adding push convoys into the vessel train. This way of transport is more numerous on the Danube than self-propelled vessels. Both of these aspects should be studied further.

AB  - The natural roll period is an important component of stability assessment. The need for development of a proper estimation method is particularly important for river-sea ships, which represent inland vessels intended for operations in maritime environment. The overall goal of this study is to contribute to the development of a suitable method for the natural roll period estimation for river-sea ships. For this purpose, a method based on the linear potential hydrodynamics is applied on a database consisted of 31 river-sea ships. The obtained results are analysed and compared with those calculated using semi-empirical methods, and a practical natural roll period estimation method for river-sea ships is proposed.

AB  - Vessel Train is a novel waterborne transport concept which implies several digitally connected vessels sailing in a convoy. Vessel Train is consisted of a "lead vessel" and one or more "following vessels". The lead vessel is fully manned, while the following vessels are remotely controlled from the lead vessel via a control system. This could allow the following vessels to sail either with a reduced crew or with a crew off-duty. This paper addresses the stability assessment of the Vessel Train consisted of the river-sea ships, which are subject to operational limitations when sailing in maritime environment. Using the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria framework, it is investigated how sailing in the Vessel Train would affect the operational limitations of the river-sea ships depending on their design and operational features.

AB  - The paper examines the intact stability of historic passenger ships from the point of view of the contemporary-notion of the intact stability. i.e. the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria (SGISC) framework. Au intact stability assessment using the Vulnerability Level 2 calculation procedures of SGISC' for the dead ship condition was performed on four ocean liners: RMS Titanic, RMS Queen Mary, SS I Tinted States and SS Michelangelo, and two cruise ships: MS Song of America and MS Costa Concordia. In addition, the intact stability' of the selected ships was appraised using the presentday mandatory intact stability requirements contained in the 2008 Intact Stability Code. The selected ships are believed to be good representatives of the main trends in passenger ship design over a one-htwdred-year span bounded by two well-known maritime catastrophes: the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and the Costa Concordia disaster in 2012. The paper offers an insight into how major design changes have affected the intact stability properties of passenger ships over this period. It was found that the examined ocean liners would perform well in tenns of intact stability in the dead ship condition even from the point of view of the SGISC. The analysis also confirmed the advantages of the approach using the SGISC framework over simplified. (semi)empirical stability assessment methods. By looking into the evolution of the intact stability of ocean liners and cruise ships from the contemporary perspective. the paper draws the conclusions which are considered useful for the design of future passenger ships.

AB  - Rapid growth of the river cruising industry brings the safety of inland passenger ships into spotlight. A review of the existing safety regulations, however, exposes the fact that a common international regulatory framework for inland vessels currently does not exist. The paper presents damage stability assessment of a state-of-the-art European inland passenger vessel (the so-called river cruiser) performed according to the requirements of the regulations which are presently in force in Europe and worldwide. It is shown that in the same loading conditions, the vessel may be regarded as safe by some regulations and unsafe by other ones, even though all the examined regulations address the same vessel type in (approximately) the same environmental and operational conditions. Thus, the paper exemplifies the need for harmonized safety regulations for river cruisers. Additionally, the results indicate that a vessel complying with European damage stability regulations could also be considered as safe in some other major inland waterways outside of Europe.

The regulations are scrutinized with respect to the role of human operators in attaining the appropriate level of safety on inland vessels, as well as in view of possibilities for the remote control and remote execution of safety functions on the vessels. The paper specifies some of the technical requirements, contained in the regulations, which ought to be amended in order to improve the conditions for introduction of autonomous inland vessels. Furthermore, the paper highlights the main differences between the existing rules governing the safety of seagoing ships and inland vessels and investigates the possibilities for improvement of the safety standards for European inland cargo ships based on international maritime regulations. Finally, a set of recommendations for the removal of regulatory barriers to autonomous inland navigation is put forward.

The level 2 vulnerability assessment procedures for dead ship condition (DSC) and excessive accelerations (EA) are used to derive the operational limitations of a typical European inland container vessel in the North Sea coastal zone. The results are in good agreement with the operational experience in the designated area, but provide additional insights into safety of river-sea ships that could not have been observed by the classic stability analysis. It is shown that the approach used by the SGISC could be successfully applied to river-sea ships, provided that appropriate modifications of the Criteria are introduced.

AB  - The effective wave slope is a fundamental concept in simplified 1-DOF roll models, and predicted roll motion strongly depends on the assumed effective wave slope coefficient. This is relevant to regulatory frameworks based on 1-DOF roll models, such as IMO Weather Criterion or the under development Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria. The paper examines different methods for effective wave slope coefficient prediction, which could potentially be used for intact stability assessment of river-sea ships. In fact, there is a lack of studies specifically addressing this type of vessels. A database of existing inland and river-sea vessels is used for determining the effective wave slope coefficient by the considered methods, and results are compared and discussed. The used approaches comprise a direct calculation method based on linear seakeeping hydrodynamics, methods based on Froude-Krylov approximation, and semi-empirical methods. Obtained results suggest that the considered methods based on Froude-Krylov approximation provide similar predictions for river-sea ships, and tend to be conservative in the vast majority of cases. Results also suggest that the considered semi-empirical methods for effective wave slope coefficient prediction at natural roll frequency are unsuitable for river-sea ships, with a general tendency towards the overestimation.

AB  - The present contribution focuses on the recent developments in the field of stability regulations for the river-sea ships in Europe. The river-sea ships are primarily inland vessels that operate on the coastal sea routes on a regular basis. Due to their particular service and design, the river-sea ships may be subject to special stability requirements that incorporate seakeeping considerations to an extent. In the present analysis, some of the existing stability rules (Russian River Register) and working proposals of regulations (UNECE Resolution No. 61) intended for the river-sea ships are evaluated from the probabilistic point of view. It is demonstrated that, in some cases, these regulations are insufficient and not strict enough. Critical analysis is followed by some guidelines for possible improvement of regulations and development of new intact stability criteria for river-sea ships.

AB  - The paper examines the possibilities for using the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria (SGISC) framework in stability assessment and calculation of operational limitations of the river-sea ships. The level 2 vulnerability assessment procedures for dead ship condition and excessive accelerations are used to derive the operational limitations of a typical European inland container vessel in the North Sea coastal zone. The results are in good agreement with the operational experience in the designated area, but provide additional insights into safety of river-sea ships that could not have been observed by the classic stability analysis. It is shown that the approach used by the SGISC could be successfully applied to river-sea ships, provided that appropriate modifications of the Criteria are introduced.

AB  - Proper estimation of roll damping moment is of paramount importance for adequate assessment of dynamic stability of ships. However, experimental data on roll damping of inland vessels are scarce and unreliable. Thus the applicability of classic Ikeda's method and its simplified version on typical European inland vessels is investigated, with specific focus on eddy making component. It is found that the simplified Ikeda's method, in comparison to the classic method, may considerably underestimate the eddy making component of damping of full hull forms, or even return negative values, although the block coefficient is within the limits of method applicability. Hence, the paper explores possibilities of adjusting the simplified Ikeda's method in order to improve the observed shortcoming, as well as to extend its application to stability analysis of inland ships.

AB  - The paper investigates the possibilities for improvement of container transport on the Danube by means of an innovative and unconventional container vessel design. The proposed design differs from standard European inland ships of the same capacity by shallow draught and increased breadth. It is demonstrated that such vessel would be less susceptible than the standard vessels to the weather phenomena (low water levels and strong winds) that hamper the navigation on the Danube. In the same time, the cargo capacity in terms of number of TEUs carried by such vessel would be increased. In addition to conventional methods, the study employs direct calculations to examine the structural strength and numerical experiments based on ship dynamics to assess the stability and safety of the vessel exposed to gusting wind. Overall, the results indicate the advantage of the shallow-draught vessels in the present day navigation conditions on the Danube.

AB  - In Naval Architecture, the concept of "stability" has a very wide meaning, embracing ship stability fundamentals with ship dynamics and ultimately ship safety. As such, the subject is of paramount importance for its wide implications on design and operation of ships and floating units. Research in this field has, therefore, an important impact on the fleet safety, and the International Conferences on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (STAB Conferences) and the International Ship Stability Workshops (ISSW) are certainly the venues where expertise and contemporary developments in this specific field tend to be collected and thoroughly debated. With the aim of analysing the current status and possible future perspectives of research in the field of ship stability, dynamics and safety, this paper provides an extensive review of the findings presented at STAB Conferences and ISSW events in the period 2009-2014. The reviewed material is organised according to a set of identified macro-topics of research. On the basis of the reviewed material, consolidated research topics as well as emerging subjects are laid out, and ideas for possible future research are also brought forward. Discussion is also provided regarding the link between research and educational aspects.

AB  - Attaining a sufficient level of safety from the point of view of stability is typically considered to be a matter of design. However, it is impossible to ensure safety only by design measures, and operational measures can then represent a complementary tool for efficiently and cost-effectively increasing the overall safety of the vessel. Time could therefore be coming for systematically considering operational measures as a recognised and regulated integral part of a holistic approach to ship safety from the point of view of stability. This paper therefore aims at capturing recent trends of research targeting operational safety measures, with specific attention to the intact ship condition. Open challenges and opportunities for research are identified, potential benefits and shortcomings of different options are discussed, and needs and possibilities for further developments in this area are explored. As an overall goal, this paper aims at providing food for thoughts as well as a ground for further proceeding towards the target of implementing a virtuous integrated approach to intact ship safety, from the point of view of stability, which gives due credit to effective and robust operational risk control options.

AB  - Directive 2006/87/EC of the European Parliament and the Council represents a milestone in the on-going process of harmonization of technical standards for inland vessels in Europe. The Directive prescribes various safety requirements for freight and passenger vessels operating on the European inland waterways. This paper focuses on ship stability regulations laid out in the Directive 2006/87/EC in relation to the safety of shallow-draught inland container vessels designed for the Danube. Using the probabilistic analysis of stability of inland vessels exposed to stochastic beam wind, it is demonstrated that deterministic regulations imposed by the Directive fail to provide sufficient level of safety in a number of relevant cases. In addition, the paper presents an overview of environmental conditions used in safety analyses, as prescribed by diverse regulations presently in effect in Europe. It is shown that different rules may apply in the same area of navigation which subsequently leads to unequal safety levels attained by the vessels operating in given waterway. Therefore, the paper offers a universal risk-based alternative to the current safety rules, based on the statistical analysis of roll motion of a vessel in realistic weather conditions.

AB  - The goal of the present study is to encourage the discussion on the future of the Danube fleet by providing a novel approach to design of self-propelled dry bulk cargo vessels for the Danube. The main dimensions of a standard European CEMT Va class vessel are re-examined in the light of the Danube navigation conditions, characterized by the shallow-water sectors and thus, considerably affected by the low-water periods. As a result, a shallow-draught vessel of increased beam, the so called E-Type, is put for-ward. Given that the proposed design could be regarded as "unusual" by classification societies, the preliminary design study is followed by a thorough analysis of structural strength, with particular emphasis on the longitudinal strength issues. The study is complemented by an assessment of energy efficiency of the novel concept. It is believed that the proposed E-Type concept could represent a viable, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solution for the present navigation conditions on the Danube.

AB  - The objective of MoVe IT! (Modernisation of vessels for inland waterway freight transport) project is to investigate cost-effective options for modernisation of the European inland fleet. One of the project tasks was to examine the feasibility of lengthening of existing small vessels (LOA < 86m) from both the technical and the economic point of view. With respect to that, the gradual lengthening (in several predefined steps) of two typical inland vessels of CEMT class II and III was examined. For each step, the ship structure scantlings were verified against the rules of classification societies, the manoeuvring features were simulated and the power necessary for attaining certain speed was calculated. Finally, the economic and environmental impacts of lengthening were assessed. The results of the analysis confirmed that lengthening can be viable, in particular for larger vessels (in this case, class III) where the payback periods were found to be relatively short. In addition, the lengthening proved to have a positive effect from the environmental point of view. The analysis also demonstrated that there are conditions related to waterway characteristics and economic environment under which the lengthening would not pay off, even though it would be technically feasible.
