Abstract
The Marine Board of the National Research Council (NRC) has
initiated a new study on evaluating alterntive Tanker designs to
double hull tankers. This effort was mandated by the US Congress
in the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998. The purpose of the
study is to develop a methodology for evaluation of the oil
outlfow performance of alternative tanker designs in the event of
a collision or grounding. The present paper is an invited
contribution oto the first meeting of the Committee on Evaluating
Double Hull Alterntive Tanker Designs held at the National Academy
of Sciences' Georgetown facilities in Washington DC.
