    Extensively updated for the second edition, this handy guide covers the safety engineering of ship-shaped offshore installations at every stage of design, construction, operation, lifetime healthcare and decommissioning. New sections cover additional types of offshore structures, including offshore power plants, as well as cutting-edge technologies and all the latest advances in the field. The text focuses on minimising accidents and the effects of extreme conditions, with new chapters covering earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist attacks, as well as traditional types of accidental events such as hull girder collapse, collisions, fires and explosions. This is an invaluable resource for students who will be approaching the subject for the first time as well as practising engineers and researchers.

    • A timely update of the popular first edition, discussing all the latest advances in the field
    • Covers the complete life-cycle of installations from initial contract stage through to operation to decommissioning
    • Presents methodologies for limit states and risk-based design of ship-shaped offshore installations
    • Provides a useful introduction to the topic for students as well as being an essential reference for professional engineers
