Collision consequence estimation model for chemical tankers
Chemical tanker traffic constitutes a hazard for the environment; large chemical spills caused by, for example, ship–tanker collisions can have catastrophic effects in similar manner to oil spills. For this reason, it is important to have a generalized spill model for chemical tankers, so that the spill size for a given geographical area can be assessed. The spill volume can be used as an indicator of risk in the given area. Furthermore, such a model can be used to analyze the possible effects of potential risk-mitigating measures such as requiring wider double hulls for chemical tankers. In this article, a spill model is proposed, which for a given collision scenario can model the penetration, spill probability, and size caused by a ship striking a chemical tanker. This is done using finite element method, MATLAB, and statistical metamodels with ship particulars extracted mainly from automatic identification system data from the Gulf of Finland.
