6.1 Damage cases

  6.1.1 Using the damage probability distribution functions specified in paragraph 5.2, all damage cases n as per paragraph 4.3 should be evaluated and placed in ascending order of oil outflow. The cumulative probability for all damage cases should be computed, being the running sum of probabilities beginning at the minimum outflow damage case and proceeding to the maximum outflow damage case. The cumulative probability for all damage cases should be 1.0.

  6.1.2 For each damage case the damage consequences in terms of penetrations (breaching) of cargo tank boundaries should be evaluated and the related oil outflow calculated. A cargo tank should be considered as being breached in a damage case under consideration if the applied damage envelope reaches any part of the cargo tank boundaries.

  6.1.3 When determining the damage cases, it should be assumed for the purpose of these calculations that the location, extent and penetration of damages are independent of each other.
