Özet

Today, the design and production of diesel electric hybrid ships are becoming increasingly widespread because of the 

search of more efficient and environmentally friendlier ships. Hybrid system applications are now present across 

various ship types from ferries to yachts. Electric motor applications offer designers greater flexibility in installing 

machinery and arranging the general arrangement plan. The arrangement of watertight bulkheads directly affects a 

ship's damage stability characteristics. In this paper it is aimed to investigate the probabilistic damage stability 

characteristics of a yacht with two different configurations. One equipped with a conventional propulsion and diesel 

power operation system the second equipped with a diesel-electric hybrid power operation system. For this first a 

validation study will be made with a offshore vessel which probabilistic stability calculations are present in the open 

literature. After the validation study a yacht will be designed for the same displacement for two different configurations 

and a general arrangement plan will be designed. The two configurations will be compared by means of the attained 

and required indexes of SOLAS Chapter II-1
