Technical Solutions Applied Sample Clauses

Technical Solutions Applied. There is a great variety of possible technical solutions leading to compliance with the provisions of the Stockholm Agreement, greatly depending on the extent of the required modifications (factors 1 and 2 above) and the expertise of the technical consultant. Approaches are normally classified according to the choice of the survivability-enhancing device (e.g., structural modifications referring to changes in the internal and/or external ship geometry), operational measures (reducing draught/payload, increasing displacement/payload via external modifications, lowering operational KG, changing route to one with less severe operational sea states or a combination of these) and finally to the mode of achieving compliance (model test method or calculation method). Concerning the latter, formal application of the requirements of the SA, without optimisation, is likely to lead to ineffective modifications and economically unviable solutions. An indicative list of possible technical solutions is given in Table 3 below.
