What is parametric rolling?
Parametric rolling (PR) is a complex phenomenon that occurs when a vessel experiences the sudden onset of large, violent rolls from side-to-side. It has been recognized as a problem for more than half a century. While it mainly affects modern container vessels and car carriers, PR may occur with other types of vessels as well.
