Abstract

A full-scale vehicle testing program which emphasizes experimental determination of the rollover stability, of double-bottom tanker configurations is discussed. Test vehicle loading, anti-rollover outriggers, instrumentation, and modification hardware are discussed specifically. Results of dynamic handling tests and low-speed manoeuvrability tests are presented. Conclusions regarding the stability of individual vehicle configurations as well as overall fleet safety are reached.
