Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book has 15 chapters, everything from basic definitions, such as PLL, frequency of impairment etc, to chapters where explosion risk modelling are described quite in detail. On an overall basis, I am sure every pro- can learn something from this book. However, it is not a guideline, outlining a stepwise QRA-approach. It is rather a collection of chapters (sometimes with varying quality) where different aspects of risk analysis are discussed. Chapter 10 (Collision Risk Modelling) gives detailed information about both the historical ship collision incidents and a model about how to calculate the collision energy & consequences. Obviously, the section about historical incidents is a bit outdated and include a few misleading information. Appendix A gives an overview of the softwares in the market. Some of the softwares in the list are not supported anymore. Furthermore, RiskSpectrum is a PSA tool, pretty much tailored for nuc- business. To conclude: Mr. Vinnem and his team put a lot of effort into this book. I think everybody can find something they may like in the book.

Offshore Risk Assessment was the first book to deal with quantified risk assessment (QRA) as applied specifically to offshore installations and operations. This book is a major revision of the first edition. It has been informed by a major R&D programme on offshore risk assessment in Norway (2002-2006). Not only does this book describe the state-of-the-art of QRA, it also identifies weaknesses and areas that need development.
