Ship Impact Assessment
The objectives of the Ship Impact Assessment study are to assess the ship / platform collision frequency for each of the platforms.
There are two main scenarios that shall be considered for ships colliding with offshore structures:
- Powered Collision: Where the vessel is under power but errant, normally due to watch-keeper failure
- Drifting Collision: Where a ship on a passing route experiences propulsion failure and drifts under the influence of the prevailing conditions
Methodology
The Collision Risk Analysis will be based on the DNV RP107 standard based on normally distributed geometric collision probability. This standard is used extensively worldwide and is the most extensively used collision risk model. The result of the study will be output as collision frequency versus impact energy.
The risk analysis will consider both powered and drifting collision scenarios.
The study will assess the likely impact energies that will be generated on the event of ship collision.
