Many disastrous oil spill accidents from damaged vessels become worse especially when the early treatment is not prompt enough. To properly handle this type of accidents and prevent further disasters, International Maritime Organization establishes and imposes various rules and regulations. Better understanding of the propulsive performance of damaged vessels is important for containing the oil spill while the vessels are being towed or self-propelled. In the present study, both experimental and computational methods were used to investigate the flow phenomena around the hull and the hydrodynamic performances of a VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) in various damaged conditions. From the resistance and self-propulsion test results, it is found that higher power is required to propel the ship especially with the bow trim. Wake measurement data provide physical insight into the factors to be considered for the propeller operation in damaged conditions.
