Rapid detection of flooding, and reliable damage estimation are required for an efficient decision support system, especially on passenger ships that can carry thousands of people onboard. For this purpose, properly located flooding detection sensors are needed. This paper presents a study on the required sensor arrangement on a large passenger ship. Three alternative sensor arrangements are compared with several different damage scenarios. For this, a state-of-the-art decision support system with time-domain flooding prediction is used. The results are analysed with a recommendation for a minimum sensor arrangement for similar ship designs.
