Risk Assessment and Management for Ships and Offshore Structures 1st Edition

Risk Assessment and Management for Ships and Offshore Structures, 1st Edition by Yong Bai and Jeom Kee Paik is an authoritative, practice-focused guide for naval architects, offshore engineers, safety managers and maritime regulators seeking rigorous methods to reduce risk at sea and on offshore platforms.

This accessible yet technically rich volume translates complex probabilistic models and structural reliability theory into practical tools for real-world decision making. Topics include hazard identification, quantitative risk assessment, load and resistance modeling, failure modes, inspection and maintenance planning, and strategies for mitigating catastrophic events. Case studies and industry-relevant examples demonstrate application across ship design, platform integrity, and floating production units.

Engineered for professionals working across global offshore operations — from the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico to Asia-Pacific and coastal regions worldwide — the book aligns risk management practices with regulatory expectations and classification society frameworks. Its clear explanations and step-by-step methodologies make it an excellent reference for engineers preparing safety assessments, operators optimizing maintenance, and students building a career in maritime risk engineering.

Practical, current and authoritative, this edition equips readers with the analytical skills and judgment to improve safety, lower lifecycle costs and support resilient marine operations. Whether you’re assessing fatigue life of hull structures, planning maintenance regimes, or developing company-wide safety frameworks, this book delivers the insights you need.
