PROCEEDINGS OF THE 9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COLLISION AND GROUNDING OF SHIPS AND OFFSHORE STRUCTURES (ICCGS 2023)
by Hervé Le Sourne, Carlos Guedes Soares
This book offers
state-of-the-art developments in the collision and grounding of ship
and offshore structures. The topics covered by the contributions
include: dynamics of vessels in collision and grounding; collision and
grounding in Arctic conditions; collision and grounding statistics and
measures of the probability of incidents; risk assessment of collision
and grounding; measures for reduction of collision and grounding,
machine learning methods for the evaluation of probabilistic collision
and grounding risk; new designs for improvement of structural
resistance to collisions; analysis of ultimate strength of damaged ship
structures; design of buffer bows to reduce collision consequences;
innovative navigation systems for safer sea transportation, collision
between ships and offshore structures; collision between ships and
fixed or floating bridges, collision and grounding experiments;
properties of materials under impact loadings; residual strength of
damaged ships and offshore structures; hull girder response of ships
under severe dynamic loadings. The book is aimed at naval architects,
marine engineers and scientists.
The
ICCGS conferences aim to present state-of-the-art methods for analysis
and design against collision and grounding of ships, collisions
between ships and icebergs, offshore structures, bridges, submerged
tunnels and waterfront structures. Previous conferences were held in:
San Francisco, USA in 1996; Copenhagen, Denmark in 2001; Tokyo, Japan
in 2004; Hamburg, Germany in 2007; Helsinki, Finland in 2010;
Trondheim, Norway in 2013; Ulsan, South Korea in 2016, and Lisbon,
Portugal in 2019.
The Proceedings in
Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering series is devoted to the
publication of proceedings of peer-reviewed international conferences
dealing with various aspects of ‘Marine Technology and Ocean
Engineering’. The Series includes the proceedings of the following
conferences: the International Maritime Association of the
Mediterranean (IMAM) Conferences, the Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT)
Conferences, the Renewable Energies Offshore (RENEW) Conferences and
the Maritime Technology (MARTECH) Conferences, and the Collision and
Grounding of Ships and Offshore Structures (ICCGS) conferences. The
‘Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering’ series is also open to new
conferences that cover topics on the sustainable exploration and
exploitation of marine resources in various fields, such as maritime
transport and ports, usage of the ocean including coastal areas,
nautical activities, the exploration and exploitation of mineral
resources, the protection of the marine environment and its resources,
and risk analysis, safety and reliability. The aim of the series is to
stimulate advanced education and training through the wide
dissemination of the results of scientific research.
