Intact and Damaged Hydrostatics and Stability

Murray & Associates can evaluate all types of ships and floating structures.  Our focus is flotation, trim, stability and strength by calculating the forces involved using mathematical/geometrical models of the vessels.

We use software Developed by Creative Systems, called GHS(General HydroStatics), which is well-proven, reliable, respected by regulatory agencies and in constant use by major design firms and shipyards.

Our experience is not only with ship hulls, but also anything that floats or contains liquid.  We have completed stability calculations and analyzed dry docks, drilling platforms, freighters, floating docks, and barges. We addresses simple and complex stability issues including intermediate stages of flooding, spilling of cargo, and optimizing against complex stability criteria.
