Assisting ship owners and cargo interests in determining the causes of accidents involving ships, terminals – equipment and/or cargoes by using techniques such as:
-
Fracture mechanics and corrosion of materials, testing techniques such as metallurgical analysis.
-
Risk and reliability applied to structural design, including crude Montecarlo simulation for determining probable values of loads.
-
Principles of ship stability and longitudinal resistance for structural incidents during sea passage.
-
Collection of data, testing and advanced structural analysis FEA.
-
Basic principles of hydrostatics and hull deflections including draft surveys to determine causes of overdraft, shortage and/or grounding.
