Abstract

Analizing the Search and Rescue Note, a reguler publication of Japan Maritime Safety Agency, the present writers found out that 13 sand carriers with grab buckets capsized in the past five years since 1969. In this paper, we have tried to report the result of the investigation of two sand carriers with grab backets, which capsized near "Mihara Seto" in the Inland Sea of Seto. These ships, in overloaded condition and insufficient stability, capsized by the partial shifts of sand in their cargo holds. Based on this analisis, we would like to discuss especially the possible preventation against the capsizing of these ships.
