Summary

Criteria that are relevant to the safety engineering of ship-shaped offshore installations are influenced by ocean environmental conditions that affect the transit, operation, survival and decommissioning of these installations. The actions of ocean environmental conditions on ship-shaped offshore installations are different from their actions on trading ships. Particularly, the nature and operation of the former mean that the structures are substantially affected by the action of waves, winds and currents, whereas the latter are primarily affected by waves only. Thus, accurate and efficient modelling of ocean environmental conditions at the proposed sites of ship-shaped offshore installations is essential for safety engineering and long operational uptimes.
