About the Risk Management in Marine and Subsea Operations Course

Time Training Center’s 5-day/30-hour course delivers in-depth knowledge of risk-based inspection and maintenance techniques vital for offshore oil and gas operations. It emphasises the strategic importance of identifying, assessing, and managing risks for surface and subsea infrastructure. This includes fixed and floating installations such as FPSOs and FLNGs.

The course covers modern inspection technologies, subsea repair strategies, and relevant regulatory frameworks. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to integrate advanced remote-operated and autonomous systems (ROVs and AUVs) into inspection and maintenance activities, ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical infrastructure.

By enhancing capabilities in inspection planning, risk assessment, and maintenance optimisation, our program empowers professionals to manage operational risks more effectively. This ultimately contributes to the safety, sustainability, and overall performance of offshore projects, preparing them for the rigorous demands of the marine and subsea environment.

Risk Management in Marine and Subsea Operations Course Objectives

​By the end of this Risk Management in Marine and Subsea Operations training course, participants will be able to:​

• Understand inspection strategies for above-water and subsea components of offshore structures.
• Apply risk-based inspection (RBI) methodologies to hull structures, mooring systems, risers, and topside facilities.
• Implement subsea inspection and maintenance techniques using ROVs and AUVs.
• Interpret and apply relevant codes, standards, and regulatory requirements for marine facilities, including FPSOs and FLNG units.
• Develop and evaluate inspection plans for both fixed and floating offshore installations.
• Identify critical safety components and non-conformance criteria during inspection processes.
• Assess risk factors in marine and subsea operations and integrate them into project management strategies.
