It is a major challenge for the maritime community to develop
probability-based procedures for design against collision and
grounding events. To quantify the risks involved in ship traffic
in specific geographic areas implies that probabilities as well as
inherent consequences of various collision and grounding events
have to be analysed and assessed.The present paper outlines such a
rational procedure for evaluation of the probabilistic
distribution of damages caused by collisions against other ships
for a specific ship on a specific route.The work described in the
paper constitutes a step towards the more long term goal to
develop probability-based codes for design against collision and
grounding events, similar to the present development towards the
use of reliability-based procedures for strength design of ships
subjected to the traditional environmental loads.
