Purpose

• Assessment of the damage extents and consequences of ship collision
• Design to increase the collision resistance
• Reducing the risk of environmental pollution
• Analysis of rest strength of damaged structures
• Risk of capsizing/structural collapse

Benefits

• Long experience and in-depth competence in collision analyses
• Analysis and documentation of the consequences of potential collisions according to rules and regulations
• Design to improve collision resistance of structure
• Reduction of risk and consequences of fire, explosion, pollution, etc due to collision accidents
  

Features

• Analysis of motion and loads and energies absorbed during collisions
• Detailed non-linear finite element analyses (ABAQUS Explicit) to determine damage extents and collision load histories
• Measures and design to increase the collision resistance (reduce the risk of pollution)
• Analysis of safe structural locations to prevent failure and collapse of critical design component and potential polution of environment (toxic gas/liquid spreading, fire/explosion risk)
• Damage stability analyses
• Analysis of rest strength of damage structure
• Use of damage statistics to evaluate means of reducing the collision consequences
• Analysis of traffic control measures (e.g. speed limitations) to reduce the risk/extent of collision damages
