... and ventilation (sufficient oxygen levels). Therefore some tanks will not be operational during the inspections, reducing the storage capacity and perhaps affecting the off-take schedule. Regarding inspection planning for jacket structures using similar Risk Based Inspection planning approach [8], the main...

... of inspection plans, which is the main objective, can be reached. Presentation of Data and Results The focus of RBI program, addressed on this paper, is the semi-submersible hull structure. This includes the structure of the lower hull and upper hull as well as the columns and braces, from the bottom plate up...

... considerations is presented: the approach uses a hierarchical representation of the hull and Bayesian Probabilistic Networks (BPNs) to compute at system level the risks associated to any inspection planning. A model example is given as illustration. The last part of the paper reverts on the challenge...

..., fatigue and buckling are discussed, as well the techniques to analysis and assess structural integrity, remediations to address anomalies and defects, inspection planning and execution. The use of adequate techniques and new technologies are important parameters in the overall integrity management...
