CAPSIZED Meaning and
Definition
-
Capsized refers to the overturning or flipping of a water vessel, such as a boat or ship, resulting in it being inverted or turned upside down in water. This term is primarily used in the context of maritime disasters or accidents where a sudden imbalance or external forces cause the vessel to become unsteady and subsequently roll over onto its side or completely flip over. When a boat or ship capsizes, it usually loses its stability and may float partially submerged or entirely inverted, depending on the severity of the incident.
Capsizing can occur due to various factors, including rough seas, high winds, or extreme weather conditions that exert excessive pressure on one side of the vessel, leading to an imbalance that results in a loss of equilibrium. Additionally, the specific design or weight distribution of the watercraft may also contribute to its susceptibility to capsizing.
The consequences of a capsized vessel can be hazardous and potentially life-threatening to those on board, as the occupants may be thrown into the water or trapped within the submerged or inverted structure. Consequently, prompt action is typically required to rescue individuals and stabilize the ship to prevent further damage or casualties. Various techniques, such as righting the vessel or deploying flotation devices, may be used to address a capsized situation and minimize its impact.
