Sažetak

The aim of this paper is to develop a probabilistic model of the reduction in the bending moment capacity of an oil tanker following grounding and collision accidents. The approach is based on the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation using the probability distributions of damage parameters proposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The reduction in ultimate strength in the case of grounding is calculated by applying existing design equations using the concept of the grounding damage index (GDI) and assuming grounding on a conically shaped rock. Design equations for collision damage are originally developed in the present paper by assuming rectangular box damage. The modified Paik-Mansour method is employed for residual strength assessment when developing the design equations. A case study is presented for an Aframax tanker resulting in the Weibull probability distributions fitted to the histograms of residual strength obtained with MC simulations. The obtained probability distributions are intended for structural reliability assessment of damaged ships.
