Abstract

This paper introduces a method that makes use of AIS data to estimate collision frequencies and scenarios for use in ship damage stability. Collision scenarios are studied by crash analysis to obtain a probabilistic description of the damage, relevant to the ship studied and an area of operation. Due to the extensive number of collision scenarios to be simulated, crash analysis is carried out by the Super-Element method. Results are presented for a RoPax ship operating from 2018 – 2019 in the Gulf of Finland. The reference struck ship considered has been the cruise vessel FLOODSTAND SHIP B (Luhmann, H. (2009)). The damages obtained correlate well with those adopted by SOLAS. Yet, the method is by nature sensitive to the accuracy of collision detection or damage breach
evaluation models. Thus, it is concluded it could better suit the evaluation of flooding risk, following an approach that is ship and operational area-specific i.e. within the context of the safety case approach currently used in the offshore industry.
