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.enConference Paper10.1201/b18442-111Other
