CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
This training provides an overview of Metocean Criteria and Considerations in Offshore Design. Metocean conditions is one of the prerequisite considerations in the design of installations, rigs and pipelines, the operations of vessels, helicopters, ROVs and also divers. It deals with the complexities of meteorological and oceanographic effects on the offshore conditions as well as its combined effects. Failure will result in overdesign and caused financial overruns or potential structural disaster as a result of inadequate metocean considerations. The aim of the course is at tackling issues pertaining to engineering design, economic appraisal, construction, tow and offshore operations. It will delve into the interpretation and analysis of operational metocean results which to be utilized in identifying weather windows and forecast of weather conditions for operations.
