ABSTRACT
Luís et al., (2009) performed a reliability analysis of a Suezmax double hull tanker accidentally grounded. The loading of the ship was defined based on the extremes that the ship could find during one voyage of one week to dry-dock through European coastal areas. It was shown that in spite of the reliability being lower in the intact condition for sagging, in the damaged condition it is possible to find lower values for hogging, depending on the location and size of the damaged areas.
