Abstract

Parametric roll is a critical phenomenon for ships, whose onset may cause roll oscillations up to 40 , leading to very dangerous situations and possibly capsizing. Container ships have been shown to be particularly prone to parametric roll resonance when they are sailing in moderate to heavy head seas.
