heal.abstract	The article presents the progress that has been achieved in research related to ship-ship collisions and discusses tools for the assessment of the safety of a ship against collision. In particular it presents and discusses a) requirements of Classification Societies and authorities related to structural design for protection against collisions, b) the simulation of ship-ship collisions using FE codes, c) designs that have been proposed in order to minimize the detrimental effects of collision incidents, and d) the level of energies that are available to cause structural damage in case of collision. Major steps that enabled collision simulations to represent in a more realistic manner the actual incident and improved the effectiveness of protective measures against collisions as well as knowledge gaps and research needs are identified. The investigation of contact incidents faces many common problems and therefore reference will be made not only to methodologies related to collision, but also to grounding. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London.	en
