The OWT is located on a large-scale prestressing bucket foundation constructed by an integrated installation technique. According to the simulation results, under the ship collision, a cer- tain range of plastic zone appears within a local area of arc transition structure of the bucket foundation, and the con- crete plastic zone is seriously damaged. As the stress level of OWT tower is relatively low, the OWT tower is less af- fected. A great inertial force is generated at the top of the OWT tower as the mass of nacelle and blades is up to 400 t. The displacement of the tower is in the opposite direction of the ship collision at the end of 1
