Abstract

Structural failure of ship and offshore structures may result in loss of human life, severe environmental damage, and large economic consequences. Therefore ship and offshore structures must be designed with adequate safety and reliability, and their designs must be acceptable from an environmental and economic point of view. Environmental data and models represent a necessary and important input to load and response calculations of ship and offshore structures. They should be based on the state-of-the-art met-ocean description. Related relevant uncertainties in met-ocean data and models are also a part of such input.
