A probabilistic methodology for assessing damaged ship survivability based on Monte Carlo simulation is proposed. The damage condition is generated using statistical distributions of damage location and extent, derived during a recent research project, coupled to an algorithm that identifies the damaged compartments. Survivability of the ship in each damage condition is evaluated using the formulae recently proposed in Report SLF 46, which are partly based on the static equivalent method and partly on a more conventional approach. The Monte Carlo simulation technique is applied taking into consideration random quantities related to the damage and loading conditions at the time of accident. This methodology is applied to a passenger roll-on roll-off ship, allowing for a direct estimate of the damaged ship survivability in terms of the number of simulated ship capsizes. The effects of changes in the vertical position of the centre of gravity and in the sea state distribution at the moment of accident are also evaluated.
