The recent IMO Resolution MSC 19(58) points towards a more rational way of obtaining subdivisions in ships to ensure a sufficient stability in damage conditions. In the preliminary ship design phase it is important to know how the attained index and the possible oil outflow in a collision are influenced by the actual positions of the watertight bulkheads. This information should be given in form of sensitivity factors yielding the change in attained index and oil outflow for a unit reposition of user-defined bulkheads. A rational procedure to achieve this information is
developed.

The shipping industry is responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and this is expected to increase as global trade and shipping activity continues to grow. As such, reducing emissions from shipping is an important part of global efforts to tackle climate change.
