This contribution provides an overview of the framework implemented in the joint industry project “eSAFE—enhanced Stability After a Flooding Event” for probabilistic damage stability assessment of passenger ships. The framework takes into account collision, bottom grounding and side grounding/contact accidents, by providing specific corresponding attained subdivision indices. Damage cases and associated flooding probabilities are determined through a common automatic non-zonal approach, while the post-damage survivability metric is based on the SOLAS “s-factor”. The framework is intended for practical application and is generally consistent with existing SOLAS probabilistic damage stability regulations. To support designers in the application of the framework, a specific software functionality has been developed, tested and applied. Some example applications of the framework are reported.
