Ferreira, S.A. and Guedes Soares, C. (1997), “Probabilistic Assessment of the Expected Oil Outflow in Four Tankers”, Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Stability on Ships and Ocean Vehicles (STABS’97), Peter A. Bogdanov (Ed.), Varna, Bulgaria, Vol. II, pp. 211-221

As a result of increased public concern over the marine transportation of oil, during the last decades, several authors have developed probabilistic theories for ship subdivision. The present paper outlines the results of a study applied to four different tankers. A software tool has been developed in a way to apply the probabilistic approach to the study of the subdivision of tankers. The main idea is the assessment of the effectiveness of various constructional features in reducing accidental oil spills following collision or grounding.
