issue. Regarding the comment on wave excitation by Dr Kong, the authors believe that this was very minimal during the tests. However, drifting motion, mainly swaying, was observed.


Mr Scott asked about possible future tests.


Unfortunately, this kind of full-scale flooding tests are very


laborious and expensive. Thus at the time of


writing, no further tests with more complex flooding scenarios are being planned. But we do hope that in long- term this could be possible. In the meantime, efforts can be put to further improvements of the numerical tools. The way to go is to build enhanced numerical tools on a solid, well validated, basis and not to try to solve all problems in damage stability at once.
