Overview
A stability booklet documents how a vessel behaves under different loading conditions and is a standard requirement for classed and commercial vessels, and increasingly requested for larger private yachts as well.
We coordinate naval architects to prepare or update stability documentation, working from existing vessel data where available or from fresh measurement and calculation where it is not.
Benefits
Coordinated alongside naval architecture and technical drawings work.
Supports vessels where a booklet needs updating after modification.
Clear explanation of findings, not just a technical document handed over unexplained.

Frequently asked questions
Does every vessel need a stability booklet?+
Not every vessel does, but commercial, classed, and larger vessels commonly require one. We confirm the requirement from the vessel type, use, and authority route.
Does a refit require a new stability booklet?+
A refit can require an update if it changes weight, layout, structure, machinery, or operating limits. We review the scope before advising.
What is an inclining test?+
An inclining test measures how a vessel responds to controlled weight shifts so the naval architect can calculate lightship and stability data.
