Consideration of Collision Damage in FPSO Structural Design
Abstract: AbstractA collision event may be catastrophic for an offshore facility or a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO). Depending on the size and speed of the impacting ship, anything from damage to hull rupture, oil pollution, flooding, loss of buoyancy, capsizing, and sinking may occur. Supply vessels and tankers frequently visit the FPSO to transport consumables and chemicals and, consequently, there is a risk of collision between two structures. …
