Tanker Spills: Prevention by Design
Appendix K
Committee Estimates of Oil Outflow Relative to MARPOL Standard (100%)
Outflow estimates were provided by Det norske Veritas (DnV) for several design alternatives; the committee made its own estimates for other alternatives using the DnV individual estimates of grounding and/or collision performance. This performance rating is stated as an outflow index relative to the conventional MARPOL tanker (designated by DnV as ''original" in their report) whenever possible.
The cases for which the committee made its own estimates are marked with an "x" in Table K-1. The figures and calculations leading to the committee estimates are on the following pages.

Assume base ship (1) with twice as many transverse bulkheads. This would make collision index about 0.5 and grounding index about 0.9 compared to MARPOL base.

1 0.9 assumes all cargo tanks are 90% filled for the hydrostatic control design.
2 Grounding averages 1A + 1B (double hull) and 9 (hydrostatic control).
3 Uses DnV arrangement number 6 (double hull with centerline bulkhead) being the more representative of double side that would be DnV arrangement number 2 (with no centerline bulkhead).
