Ability of ship to keep afloat after one or more compartments have been flooded depends on fulfillment of 2 criteria of equal importance -- maintaining extra buoyancy to keep ship afloat after compartment is flooded, and ensuring for ship adequate stability in such conditions; loss in initial metacentric height depending on hull and compartment characteristics, and methods of estimating damaged stability at initial design stage are investigated; problem is in principle simple, and demonstrates certain requirements of International Convention which ensure ship floatability rather more from emergency buoyancy angle.
