Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) is an efficient method for evaluating the collision risk to an offshore installation. In-depth information on collision load parameters, such as incoming ship velocity and impact location, is considered prerequisite for determining the consequences of collisions with accuracy. Thus, the aim of this study is to provide a new probabilistic method for determining collision design loads. Each input parameter is treated by a probability density function, and a set of 50 prospective collision scenarios is generated using Latin hyper cube sampling (LHS) technique. Numerical computations of ship motions are performed to obtain collision load parameters. The probabilistic characteristics of the parameters using a goodness of fit test and an interval study are carried out, and best-fit probability density functions and the exceedance curves are established. A case study of the proposed method is demonstrated using a hypothetical OSV and an offshore jacket structure located in a hypothetical oceanic region. The details of the computations are documented, and the findings of the study are discussed. date: 2019-02-01 date_type: published publisher: PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2018.12.059 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1628661 doi: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2018.12.059 lyricists_name: Paik, Jeom-Kee lyricists_id: JPAIK19 actors_name: Paik, Jeom-Kee actors_id: JPAIK19 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Ocean Engineering volume: 173 pagerange: 358-374 pages: 17 issn: 0029-8018 citation: Mujeeb-Ahmed, MP; Paik, JK; (2019) A probabilistic approach to determine design loads for collision between an offshore supply vessel and offshore installations.
