Abstract
Offshore structures are designed typically to “100 year” storm conditions, which are
representative of the worst conditions anticipated in the operational life of the asset.
There are documented cases in both the shipping and offshore industries of structural
damage, asset downtime and environmental catastrophe induced by severe weather
incidents over and above structural design limits.
This talk will give an introduction to the conventions and underlying physics of Tropical
Revolving Storms, inherent uncertainty associated with such processes and current
practices in weather forecasting. It will also touch upon ways to address risk and
consequences of storms in offshore design and operations with asset monitoring,
remote tools and metocean criteria updates.
