The aim of this paper is to critically assess the methods used for the evaluation of wave-
induced loads on ships examining analytical, numerical and experimental approaches. The …

This paper proposes an improved methodology for handling ships without command by
incorporating evidential reasoning and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to …

The present study reviews several recent analyses occupied with statistics of ship accidents.
The review is focused on major types of accidents having the potential to lead to ship total …

The concept of “cyclic ultimate strength” of ship hull structures is proposed. In navigating in
waves a ship is subjected to alternate bending moments in hogging and sagging conditions …

Collision accident accounts for the largest proportion among all types of maritime accidents,
emergency decision-making is essential to reduce the consequence of such accidents. This …

Maritime safety control is an essential step to mitigate risk in the well-known formal safety
assessment framework. The selection of safety control options for NUC (not under control) …

The paper presents a simplified analytical method to examine the crushing resistance of
web girders subjected to local static or dynamic in-plane loads. A new theoretical model …

A series of small-scale specimens of unstiffened and stiffened web girders were designed
and tested by applying local imposed deformations by an indenter. These quasi-static …

The paper presents the experimental results of scaled double-hull specimens tested by
applying local imposed deformations by two different rigid indenters. The quasi-static …

This work aims to extend the conventional post-accidental structural safety assessment by
investigating the possibility of damage propagation in a damaged ship during the salvage …
