4.2 Pollution-prevention index

 The level of protection against oil pollution in the event of collision or stranding as compared to the reference double-hull designs should be determined by calculation of the pollution-prevention index E as follows:

where:
= k 1, k 2 and k 3 are weighting factors having the values:
k 1 = 0.5
k 2 = 0.4
k 3 = 0.1
P O = probability of zero oil outflow for the alternative design
O M = mean oil outflow parameter for the alternative design
O E = extreme oil outflow parameter for the alternative design

  P OR, OMR and OER are the corresponding parameters for the reference double-hull design of the same cargo oil capacity as specified in section 7.
