Abstract
The aim of the present study is to determine the sectional forces
induced by the ship grounding and also to assess the residual
strength of grounded ship hulls. An analytical approach is used to
estimate the grounding- induced sectional forces of ships. The
extent and location of structural damage due to grounding is
defined based on the ABS Safe Hull guide. The residual strength of
damaged hulls is calculated by using a simple analytical formula.
The method is applied to the residual strength assessment of a
double-hull tanker of 38.400 dwt damaged due to grounding.
