N2  - The concept of using inclining experiments to calculate the Vertical and Transverse Centre of Gravity (VCG and TCG) of a ship has been in place since the late 1700s. Whilst the form of current inclining experiments differ greatly from these early conceptual approaches; they still rely on a long-standing classical method to calculate the results. The classical method assumes that the ship is wall sided - an assumption that, in the modern day, does not need to be made.
This paper utilises new, more accurate methods formulated by (Karolius, 2018) and (Dunworth, 2015) and compares them to the classical method. In order to understand their reliability and practical advantages and their applicability to the naval vessel hull form, a large number of past naval vessel inclining experiments have been reassessed utilising the two new methods. The results have then been compared to the classical results that were originally calculated at the time of inclining. This paper discusses the differences and practical benefits of these new methods alongside their potential to simplify the inclining experiment process. The work considers these factors for a range of naval platforms and makes recommendations as to how the methodologies are best applied to different types of naval vessel.
Further work and future possibilities to improve the inclining experiment result accuracy further are also outlined.
