Ship Collision Study

Ship Collision Studies quantify the risk of vessel collisions with offshore installations and define proportionate operational and emergency controls. These studies support risk management, ALARP demonstration, marine operations planning, and regulatory compliance.

Service information

Analyse marine traffic patterns, density, vessel types, routes and speeds using AIS data
Model collision frequency and impact energy for credible scenarios, including errant vessels ad supply vessels
Assess the structural robustness, redundancy, and energy-absorbing capacity of jacket structures, riser guards, fenders, and collision barriers
Evaluate station-keeping performance, exclusion zones, escort tug requirements, and marine traffic management strategies
Define collision avoidance, early detection, monitoring (e.g., radar, AIS), and emergency response arrangements, including alarms, shutdowns, and evacuation plans
Provide clear, practical recommendations to reduce collision risk and strengthen marine operational safety
Incorporate ship collision study results into FERA, ESSA, EERA, TRIA and QRA
