At the request of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Noble Denton Europe Ltd (NDE) has carried out a qualitative review of reliability levels achieved by typical FPSOs for different limit states. This qualitative review has resulted in the identification of bands of probability of failure for the major limit states excluding risks associated with process systems. This report only deals with failure modes that are initiated by environmental overload or fatigue.
Some of these research reports are very large, for information about expected download times please see our FAQs pages.
