This publication is a guide to the drift behaviour of disabled tankers.
Based on testing carried out by the British National Maritime Institute (NMI), and initiated by OCIMF members, the American Institute of Shipping (AIMS) and the International Salvage Union (ISU), this publication is a report on the most probably drift behaviour of disabled tankers. It is divided into three sections:
- Part 1 is an overview of model tests carried out by the NMI
- Part 2 is an exploration of full scale drift data taken from operational ships
- Part 3 describes tank test studies.
