Aims
The aim of this module is to provide knowledge about how the maintenance and repair of an offshore installation, vessel or a fleet of vessels is managed. In particular, it is intended to consider the lifecycle of a vessel and how maintenance is planned, scheduled and executed.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate a deep understanding of the lifecycle of a vessel and offshore structure from construction to scrappage.
2.
Evaluate and prioritise requirements for planned and unplanned maintenance and repair scenarios.
3.
Show a critical awareness of the records, certificates and stakeholder interactions, which are required to manage marine assets in compliance with local and international regulations.
4.
Create systematic maintenance plans for various vessel types and scenarios, including offshore installations.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Classes of engineering materials used in the construction/fabrication of marine and offshore structures and the role of materials engineering in this stage, including the analysis of material properties and how these properties impact on the life cycle of the asset. Knowledge of the basics of electro-chemical corrosion of metals and fracture mechanics approaches to defect assessment, and non-destructive testing. Condition monitoring and the inclusion of the fundamentals of failure-based or default maintenance, design-out maintenance, and preventive maintenance. Basics of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the analysis of the assets’ lifecycle (construction, operation, maintenance, and scrapping). Fundamentals of circular economy, Design for Remanufacturing (DfRem) and value-added End of Life (EoL).
