Book excerpt: Supply boat collision is one of the most critical accidents that can affect structural safety and integrity of fixed installations. Pim Visser, an experienced engineer has disentangled much of the research complexity and provided a practical and accessible resource for assessing impact resistance. The capacity of members damaged due to vessel impact has been researched extensively because of the significant safety implications. However different approaches have been taken and, whilst many of the findings are in the public domain, it has not been an easy task for designers or assessment engineers to locate the information or apply it consistently.
