MARIN is looking for a graduate who is interested in the Master’s Thesis Subject “Developing Collision & Grounding Damage Tool”. If you have a good hydro-structural knowledge, Matlab programming skills and a good analytic thinking, please contact us.
For many years MARIN has advised on safe marine transportation using quantitative traffic data, however, evaluation of collision events was always made by qualitative methods. Recent developments in LNG transportation meant their use could no longer be justified. Therefore, MARIN has recently developed a new quantitative tool for the analysis of collision events involving LNG carriers. Recent casualties clearly define the need to extend the present quantitative risk assessment method toward different types of incidents and toward different types of involved marine structures.
