Abstract
Crash in high speed vessels has more in common with automotive accidents that those of slower larger vessels. Based on the crash simulation results of the Cruise Logistics Ferry (CLF) with a harbour structure the safety assessment of the CLF passenger was performed. The studies involved the prediction of the occupant injuries and likelihood of trauma for selected positions within the cabin. The work involved reviewing and implementing established crash modelling and occupant simulation methodologies from the automotive sector. The study showed that a 40knot vessel impact could be injurious to the occupants and that some position could be proposed to reduce fatal injuries. The results of this investigation can be used further in the development process of the cabin design of the CLF as well as the introduction of emergency bracing procedure in the event of an unavoidable vessel collision
