5th International Conference on Collision and Grounding of Ships

The aim of ICCGS conferences is to present the newest state of the art of all related problems in respect to collision and grounding of ships, collisions between ships and offshore structures.
The conference topics include :

• Behaviour of large passenger vessels in collision and grounding
• Collision and grounding in winter navigation
• Stability of damaged ship after collision or grounding
• Collision and grounding statistics and predictions and measures of the probability of incidents
• Prediction and measures for reduction of collision and grounding
• Consequences of collision and grounding in respect of oil outflow, hull girder failure and stability of ships
• New designs for improvements of structural resistance to collisions
• Analysis of ultimate strength of ship structures (bulkheads, tanktops, shell etc.)
• Design of forepart structures buffering in case of collision
• Design of forepart structures of ferries with doors to avoid water ingress in case of a collision
• Development of rational rules for the structural design against collision and grounding
• Innovation navigation systems for safer sea transportation
• The role of IMO, classification societies, and other regulatory bodies in developing safer ships
• Collision between ships and fixed installations like bridges and waterfront structures
• Collision and grounding experiments
