Sec.14
M 400 Collision
Sec.14 M
401 Safety assessments shall be the basis for determination of
type and size of colliding vessel and impact speed.
Sec.14 M
402 Collision impact shall be considered for all elements of the
unit, which may be impacted by sideways, bow or stern collision.
The vertical extent of the collision zone shall be based on the
depth and draught of attending vessels and the relative motion between
the attending vessels and the unit.
Sec.14 M
403 Resistance to unit collisions may be accounted for by indirect
means, such as, using redundant framing configurations, collision
ring in splash zone and materials with sufficient toughness in affected
areas.
