Quantifying uncertainties for Risk-Based Inspection planning using in-service Hull Structure Monitoring of FPSO hulls

In order to obtain valuable information from an Hull Structure Monitoring system, a large data set and consistent analysis of that data is required. The monitoring requires significant efforts over multiple years and as a result, uncertainties obtained from in-service measurements are rarely published. Instead, researchers have to rely on...

On Ship Structure Risk and Total Ownership Cost Management Assisted by Prognostic Hull Structure Monitoring

Ships must perform their missions with a high degree of reliability to maximize availability through their service life. The ultimate safety of the hull structure is time-dependent with degradation caused by the operational environment. Achieving the fore mentioned reliability and mission availability requirements are complicated because ships...
