Statistics of still water bending moment of damaged ship

The aim of the paper is to develop statistical model of still water bending moment of double hull oil tanker damaged in collision or grounding accident. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to generate plausible damage scenarios according to IMO Resolution MEPC.110(49) from 2003. For each damage scenario, maximum bending moment is calculated by commercial hydrostatic software. Histogram of maximum bending moments is then created and appropriate probability distribution fitted. The results are treated in a way to take into account correlation between damage location and maximum bending load. The purpose of developed probabilistic models is application in structural reliability studies of damaged ship.
