In this study, the roll motion characteristics of a damaged ship in the intermediate stage of flooding are experimentally investigated. To confirm the results which is used to deduce the proposal of the damage stability requirement to improve the SOLAS regulation for a damaged ship submitted to SLF by the Netherlands, measurements of roll and heave motions of a model ship suddenly flooded into the midship section through a large damage opening are carried out. The results demonstrate that the proposal underestimates the maximum roll angle, and that the roll characteristics in the intermediate stage of flooding are sensitive to value of GM, deck arrangement in the damaged compartment, obstacles in the compartment, and location and area of a damage opening.
