WG3 web page created. Scenario baseline description (pdf format) posted for comment.


Objectives

Define standard scenarios and conditions for grounding and collision analyses. This may include probabilistic and/or deterministic descriptions of ship speed, trim, collision angle, striking ship displacement, striking ship bow characteristics, impact point, bottom, rock characteristics, rock height above baseline, sea state, ice mass, etc.

Define standard criteria and methodologies for applying structural performance in grounding and collision including oil outflow, carriage of nuclear waste, damaged stability, ultimate strength and serviceability. Provide basis for performance specifications in these areas.

Scenarios from WG3 will be calibrated and used by WG1 in the grounding and collision models. WG1 will recommend scenario inputs required for damage prediction.


Work Plan, Tasks and Methods

Material compiled by workgroup members will be posted on the workgroup web pages for comment and question throughout the work of the panel.

Work will follow an iterative process:

Tasks and work plan events include:
  1. Discuss and integrate with other workgroups at the panel meeting during the SNAME Annual Meeting, November 1998.
  2. Present the results of Tasks 1, 2 and 3 in an Informal Panel Workshop, February/March 1999
  3. Support other panel working groups.
  4. Contribute to the panel paper for the SNAME Annual Meeting 1999.
  5. Complete new work - January 2000.
  6. Provide paper for 2nd International Conference on Designs and Methodologies for Collision and Grounding Protection of Ships, Summer 2000.
  7. Publish a SNAME Collision and Grounding Design Guideline defining standard scenarios, design methodologies and performance criteria, Fall 2000.
