Directional aspects of collision risk between passing ships and platforms: A North Sea case study

Abstract

The risk of collision with a ship is now estimated to be the single largest source of risk for some North Sea offshore platforms. Current procedures for modelling risk due to passing ships are omni-directional, and no explicit consideration is usually given to the directions in which the ships are travelling relative to the faces of the platform. This paper examines the effect of ship direction upon collision risk through a case study using the COAST database and a simple new collision damage model. It is found that collision damage risk can vary significantly with direction. The paper argues that there could be significant improvements to the current practice in the modelling and estimating of collision risk.
