About this title

Synopsis

This study evaluates a wide variety of ways to improve tank vessel resistance to penetration during an accident, assesses alternatives for reducing outflow if the ship's hull is breached, and recommends ways to make a tanker more "crash-worthy". It also deals with concerns about the stability of damaged tankers, fire and explosions, salvageability, and cost implications of alternative tanker designs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
