This thesis is submitted as a partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Danish Ph. D
degree. The work has been performed at the Section of Maritime Engineering, the Technical …

Ship operators are developing their business in a competitive and highly regulated industry.
For ship operators is important to utilize management systems in reducing potential threats …

SOLAS probabilistic damage stability regulations assess the ship safety level through the
attained subdivision index, which is a probabilistic measure of ship survivability combining …

Classical structural reliability analysis of intact ship hulls is extended to the case of ships
with collision or grounding damages. Still water load distribution and residual bending …

Offshore supply vessel (OSV) collisions have been identified as the most frequent type of
collision accidents in the offshore oil/gas or wind turbine industries. Quantitative risk …

The consequence of the near realistic modelling of collision damage shape on the post-
accidental ultimate hull girder strength of double-hull oil tanker is investigated. For known …

This chapter deals with the determination of the main ship dimensions (length, beam, draft,
side depth), following the estimation of ship's displacement and the selection of other basic …

This paper provides the prediction of ultimate longitudinal strengths of the hull girders of a
very large crude carrier considering probabilistic damage extent due to collision and …

This paper presents a conceptual deformable inner barrier design with the aim of improving
the collision safety during a collision into the side of a ship by facilitation of a deep intrusion …

This paper takes a look back at the process leading up to the new SOLAS 2009 damage
stability regulations. The work of the HARDER project is reviewed and the findings …
