I have sailed in/on many many ferries, likely more than 100. My car has never been chained to a deck and I have never seen any other car chained. Are you perhaps referring specifically to ferries that sail large open bodies of water?
I’m vaguely recalling my experience decades ago in the Mediterranean. I’m happy to be wrong in general. I just wanted to say that those undocumented diagrams shouldn’t necessarily be faulted because they don’t show shifted cargo.
A. Bjorkman's earlier mentioned book.
Yeah, my only car ferry experience comes from cross-channel (England-France, or the other way about) ferries. Nothing was chained down. Granted, that was a while ago, and that crossing isn't prone to bumpy water.
No connection to reality then.
So yes, you are using Anders Björkman as an expert source even as we speak. And no, you're not just using the "diagrams" innocently. The diagrams illustrate Björkman's naive claims.
You realise that this is just adding fuel to the fire, right?
Except for a couple of days ago, of course
And again today...
No, they make no sense. They tell a story, but the story omits all the assumptions that would be needed to have the story come out that way. I'll add more detail later when I have time. Björkman is trying to say, "This is what should have happened." But someone with knowledge of the field can say, "No, not necessarily." For example, the progression implied for steps 1E and 1F is purely fanciful. But it's presented as the expected outcome.

I've never seen the chaining down in practice, but the hardware and fastening points I've seen when driving onboard.
The influence of cargo shifting was also investigated in separate studies. Due to the distribution of vehicles on deck, the maximum transverse shifting of cargo centre of gravity could have been of the order of just a few metres. Two metres of cargo shift would have the effect that the progressive flooding of deck 4 started with about 10 % less water on the car deck
Yes. As I said, open-minded.
You don't understand objectivity.
In response to other posters. Please do include context, in future.
Is this book your source for the claim that the JAIC said a ship would float on its superstructure?
OK. The context for the second one is that you posted material from Bjorkman's book without acknowledging its source, were challenged on it, and only then did so in response to another poster.
What do you think open minded means?
Brain falls out.
