This is the first textbook to address quantified risk assessment
(QRA) as specifically applied to offshore installations and
operations. As the first part of the two-volume updated and
expanded fourth edition, it adds a new focus on the EU Offshore
Safety Directive, and discusses the new perspective on risk from
the Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority, followed by new and
updated international standards. New safety statistics for the
Norwegian sectors are presented, as well as new case studies on
international offshore accidents, such as the explosion on FPSO Sao
Mateus in 2015, which involved 9 fatalities. Separate chapters
analyse the main hazards for offshore structures: fire, explosion,
collision, and falling objects, as well as structural and marine
hazards. Risk mitigation and control are discussed, as well as how
the results of quantitative risk assessment studies should be
presented. The fourth edition presents updated hydrocarbon release
statistics, together with new methods for modelling the risk from
ignited hydrocarbon releases. There have been recent advances in
the modelling of collision risk from passing and attending vessels,
based on extensive research; these advances are described in
detail, in addition to new developments in the safety of Dynamic
Positioning vessels. In closing, the book provides updated
statistics and lessons learned from accidents involving offshore
helicopter transportation of personnel. The book offers a
comprehensive reference guide for academics and students of
marine/offshore risk assessment and management. It will also be of
interest to professionals in the industry, as well as contractors,
suppliers, consultants and regulatory authorities.
