For the installation of offshore constructions in Germany, the evidence to prevent interference to the safety of shipping and unjustifiable impact on the environment is required. Especially the case of ship collision for gravity base foundations is problematic due to the higher stiffness and mass compared to current steel-based offshore foundations, such as monopiles, tripiles, tripods and jackets. Using the finite element method a ship collision of a fully loaded double hull tanker with a gravity base foundation is simulated. Different water levels and the influence of swell are investigated as well as the damage to the tanker are shown.
