Structural capacity and accident scenarios

Ensure your vessel can stand up to extreme and accidental loads with a collision and impact assessment from the experts at DNV

Floating structures exposed to extreme or accidental loads are prone to sudden, violent collapse. State-of the-art methods and experience in failure modes and material models are essential for realistic risk assessment.
