ABSTRACT

Marine operations increase in the arctic, therefore collision risk of ships with ice bergs in the regions is higher and so the accurate assessment of the collision damage has become a necessity to estimate loads for the design of ship structures. This paper focuses on applications of ship – iceberg collision scenarios by using the KOSORI ice model which takes into account ice mechanic in terms of influencing parameters and, comparing results with rigid ice model. A case of collision of an iceberg with FLNG structure is studied by using the KOSORI ice model as well as the rigid body model for iceberg.
