Stability is a difficult concept to define. The idea of a stable character is readily grasped, although it is harder to put into words. The same applies to the notion of a stable ship, as stability is an intangible and complex entity. Nevertheless, it plays an extremely important role in navigation. If a ship is unstable, there is immediate danger to ship, crew, passengers and the environment. Therefore, stability regulations have been established for all types of ships. Every crewmember of every type of ship is well versed in this domain. The strength of this book is that stability is made visible, accessible and understandable for everyone through the many photos, figures and drawings contained within. It is highly suitable for all levels of professional training as well as for those involved with pleasure craft.
Ship Stability, 6th Edition (Dutch Edition) Reviews

For mariners self-studying for the Transport Canada SCS-4 exam, I did not find this book to be essential to my studies. However, the graphics in the book are top notch, and if you have a visual learning style, this may be essential for you personally. Of note, this was the only source I had in my study materials that covered stability in sail boats, which is a new exam topic on the revised 2022 syllabus.
