Due to the rapid growth of the offshore oil and gas exploration and development, offshore science and engineering is seeing a phenomal advancement. This advanced knowledge is not readily available for use by the practioners in a single reference. This handbook is an attempt to fill this gap. It covers all important aspects of offshore structure design, installation and operation. One of the unique strengths of the book is the impressive and encompassing presentation of curent functional operational offshore development for all those involved with offshore structures. It includes liberal reference to codes and standards that are important building blocks for any offshore project. It is tailored as a handy reference book for the designer and practising engineer of offshore structures. It should equally serve to educate young offshore engineering sturdents to take on the deepwater challenge of today.
