The authors have developed a standard of stability for passenger ships in Ocean-going and Coasting Services. This standard was worked out in a similar manner as that for Smooth Water Area and Small Crafts by the Ministry of Transportation with cooperation of Tokyo and Kyushu Universities, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, etc. The general task of working out standards of stability for passenger ships has thus been completed, at least tentatively, and the Ministry of Transportation is expected to incorporate these proposed standards into the Ships Safety Law and its related regulations. The work has been drawn up by Ministry of Transportation's " Ships Safety Law and Its Related Regulãtions Revisory Panel " and then reviewed by a committee representing Tokyo and Kyushu Universities, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (classification society), Japanese Shipowners' Association, Shipbuilders' Association of Japan, etc.
