The article presents selected issues related to the operational safety of offshore technical structures in relation to the destructive, corrosive impact of the marine environment and the possibilities of using computer techniques to monitor this phenomenon.Every technical object operated, not only in the marine environment but in any natural environment, undergoes gradual corrosive degradation.
The consequence of corrosion is material loss, which causes a reduction in the original cross-sections of structural load-bearing elements and an increase in safety risks to human health and life. Monitoring corrosion processes can prevent failures, which are usually costly (downtime, etc.) and, above all, can be dangerous to human health, life, and the environment. Every year, failures of vessels as well as ocean engineering objects and structures occur in the world’s marine areas. Very often, the result of such situations is the contamination of the marine environment with transported cargo or the death of people. The cause (…)
