Year: 2019 Language: english Author: OCIMF Genre: Research papers Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 18 Description: Several OCIMF members recently raised concerns about increasing attacks against vessels from missiles, crafts carrying Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and hand-held Anti-Tank Guided Weapons (ATGWs). Due to regional conflict, new threats emerged in October 2016. Analysis of recent incidents has shown that the stern of the hull is a likely target area, especially on tankers. This information paper has been developed to highlight the results of the study in relation to the protection of crew and vessels. The results can be applied to both existing and new build vessels. OCIMF collaborated with QinetiQ, a multinational defence company, to conduct a computer-based simulation study. The simulations were created by QinetiQ’s Survive tool to investigate the vulnerability of a laden Aframax-size tanker’s hull with the crew at a heightened state of readiness. This type of vessel was chosen for the study because its hull construction is a common tanker form.
