t is therefore the scope of this paper to present the results of ongoing research efforts aimed at the theoretical development and practical implementation of a probabilistic framework for regulatory assessment of ship survivability following grounding accidents, with particular attention to the case of passenger vessels. In the envisioned framework, “p-factors” are determined using a flexible and easily updatable direct non-zonal approach, while the assessment of the conditional ship survivability is based on the SOLAS “s-factor”. In the following, the general framework is described. Although the framework has been developed for both bottom and side grounding damages, and it could be extended to collision damages (and also to, e.g., accidental oil outflow performance), herein implementation details are given only for the specific case of bottom grounding. An example testing application, carried out using a specifically developed software tool, is also reported.
