It has become obvious that modern ships suffer from problems related to their sea keeping behavior, which is related to large amplitude roll motion. The intact stability is very important for the behavior of a ship in the sea going conditions. In present case of 150 Ton oil barge requires to improve the stability of ship and minimize the effect of heeling by modification in existing design of a ship to solve the current ship problem. The buoyancy force has to be increased by the addition of stabilizing tanks to the ship in such that increase the stability of ship and also reduce the effect of heeling. The ship requires to improve its metacentric height and to increase the buoyancy force to minimize heeling of ship. The ship requires working in safe condition as per the guidelines of IRS class. The IMO requirement also has to consider for safe sea keeping condition. The ship must have less than 100 angle of heel for its sea running condition by doing inclining test.

Ship stability, design of a ship, buoyancy force minimizes, Healing angle.
