Overview
The paper outlines how innovative ship designs fall outside the rulebook safety framework. Recent IMO regulations have reinforced the philosophy that “the ship itself is its best lifeboat.” This paper reports on how the Oasis of the Seas, the largest passenger ship in the world is designed, which whether collision, grounding or fire both passengers and crew can remain onboard as the “damaged” ship proceeds back to port.
ICCGS 2010 was the 5th such conference, with the first being held in San Francisco (August 1996) jointly with SNAME and the Society of Naval Architects of Japan. Over these past 12 years the conference has been hosted by organizations in Japan, Germany, Norway, and Denmark. The Proceedings have provided the technical community in structural responses to groundings and collisions, collision avoidance research.
