Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safety assessment of ships and offshore structures is a fundamental requirement for their design and actual operation at sea. However, it is still a challenging problem especially under severe environmental conditions, e.g., extreme winds and waves and green water. In addition, ships and offshore structures could encounter collision, flooding, and fire accidents as well as structural damages during their long-term operation at sea. Nowadays, safety for ships operating in polar waters is attracting attention from the shipping industry. Ship safety under tsunami attack is also a concern to be addressed. This Special Issue invites all contributions in connection with safety assessments of ships and offshore structures exposed to severe conditions. The severe conditions may include the following:
- Extreme winds and waves
- Green water and water on deck
- Collision, grounding, and drifting
- Fire and flooding
- Passenger evacuation
- Structural damages
- Polar waters and ice
- Tsunami attack
