The article "Scaling the Wall" in the November 2021 issue of The Australian Naval Architect (https://www.rina.org.uk/res/The%20ANA%20Nov%202021%20Web.pdf) describes, for a specific hull series, serious errors using GM to derive VCG from inclining experiment results: urging authorities to address this risk by requiring use of a method which consistently delivers a correct result.

Is there any quick installation and released vehicle lashing devise to be applied on channel crossing ferries sail less than 2 hours, otherwise there is not enough time to lash all the vehicle on the car deck, and in some severe water conditions might threaten the ship's stability.

Some modern container ships are larger than most of the existing fleet, whose experience has been used as the basis of classification rules and requirements. It is therefore reasonable to question whether existing requirements are appropriate for them. One such area that has been questioned is the requirements for anchoring equipment. It has been suggested that the high stacks of above-deck containers may be inadequately represented in the existing requirements.

John Spouge ( DNV-GL) has produced a note on behalf of the Maritime Safety Committee, considering the adequacy of IACS requirements for anchoring of large container ships.

The Note may be read at https://www.rina.org.uk/res/Anchoringlargecontainerships.pdf

Kenya is currently working on the ISO standards for small crafts with the intention to regularize operation of small crafts and promote safety culture. however an important segment has not been considered especially with the development off Marinas, enforcement of AIS need to be considered for vessel reporting to monitor water safety.
