The global economy heavily depends on the maritime industry, which includes activities from shipping to offshore operations. Efficient and safe operations for ships are of utmost importance in this field. To ensure safety, it is essential to understand the physical principles that influence the stability of marine vehicles. Damage to a ship may compromise its watertight integrity, allowing water to penetrate its interior. This breach reduces the ship's stability and poses significant risks to both the crew and the cargo. This study investigates the effects of two different initial stability conditions on flooding. The aim is to discern how changing the metacentric height affects a ship's dynamic response to flooding. Employing a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-based computational fluid dynamics approach, the ship's dynamics from an intact to a damaged state have been analysed. Findings indicate that while initial metacentric height differences minimally affect the rate of water ingress, they significantly influence the ship's motion responses during flooding. Optimal GM values are crucial for reducing excessive roll and yaw angles, enhancing overall vessel stability and cargo safety
