Risk-based Procedures for Safe and Reliable ORES

Emerging offshore technologies including ORES are complex to design, commission and operate, mainly due to the uncertainties involved with planning and managing their life cycle, given the newness of concepts, randomness of the offshore environment and lack of reliable procedures. Provision of risk management procedures will greatly assist in enhancing social acceptance, accelerating ORES developments to replace fossil fuels fostering efficiency and sustainability for the infrastructure and operations in the blue economies. This project will develop a framework for risk assessment methods, decision-support tools and a set of procedures that will enhance the safety, value-adding and cost-effectiveness of ORES.
