Advances in the Collision and Grounding of Ships and Offshore Structures 1st Edition

Advances in the Collision and Grounding of Ships and Offshore Structures, 1st Edition by H. Le Sourne, is an essential resource for professionals and students navigating the complex world of maritime impact mechanics and offshore safety. Combining rigorous analysis with practical insight, this title addresses collision and grounding risks that affect global shipping lanes and offshore basins—from the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico to Asia‑Pacific and Arctic operations.

This book opens with clear explanations of impact dynamics, structural response and energy absorption, then moves into modern numerical methods, model testing, damage assessment and probabilistic risk approaches. Readers will find actionable guidance on design optimization, regulatory compliance, mitigation strategies and post‑incident evaluation—making it invaluable for naval architects, marine and offshore engineers, risk managers, regulators and maritime legal advisors.

What sets this work apart is its balance of theory and application: detailed case studies and real‑world scenarios illuminate lessons learned, while up‑to‑date methodologies support safer ship and platform design, navigation planning and emergency preparedness. The writing is technical yet accessible, enabling multidisciplinary teams to translate research into practice across commercial shipping, offshore oil & gas, renewable energy and coastal infrastructure projects.

For anyone responsible for protecting people, assets and the environment from collision and grounding events, H. Le Sourne’s 1st Edition is both a reference and a roadmap to better decision‑making.
