Abstract:

Dealing with fractures in the structure of tankers has become increasingly important for both regulators and operators in the United States. This paper describes typical fracturing and addresses causes and response strategies from the perspective of an operator. The ships discussed range in size from 90 MDWT to 265 MDWT and have a total of 144 ship years of operating experience in the severe North Pacific environment.
