Ship collision is a phenomenon when a physical impact that occurs between two ships
resulting in a damaging accident. This particular collision can also occur between a
ship and a stable or a floating structure like an offshore drilling platform or an iceberg
or even a port. This study aimed to analyze of double-hull structures concerning on
high energy impact by using a ship that striking the double hull tanker side. The study
investigates previously available methods of the internal mechanism of ship structure
during the accidents, such as empirical formula, simplified analytical method, finite
element simulations and experimental approach and etc. Abaqus software will be used
as a medium for the numerical analysis design to process to do a simulation for double
hull tanker and striking ship. The simplified analytical method estimates the
relationship between the plastic deformation and the crushing force of the double hull
structure. Moreover, the analytical method of internal is combined with a theoretical
analysis of external dynamic to evaluate the energy absorption in a ship to ship
collision.
