This report estimates a possible maximum collision velocity between a supply vessel, drifitng out of control, and a fixed platform. Many simplifying assumpations are made in this initial study. The maximum collision velocity is found to be 3.3m/s in the presence of collinear 0.5m/s current, 18m/s wind and 3m significant waveheight. No attempt is made to assign a probability of occurrence to this collision velocity. (Copyright (c) Crown Copyright 1981.)
