What is the difference between the Intact Critical KGf and the Critical KGf that is output in the “Criticals” report having run Deterministic Stability?
If the damage displacement is different from the intact, then the resulting criticals are corrected back to the intact displacement. We are talking “lost buoyancy” here, so a change in displacement would be caused, for example, by cargo fall-out from a damaged compartment. The correction is simply the factor (damage disp/intact disp). The reason for using this correction, is that all stability regulations are based on the assumption that the intact weight of the ship does not change when the ship is damaged.
