Subsea operations may involve anchor handling, fish trawling, subsea system installation, heavy lift operations, etc. Such operations may represent a significant risk due to operational errors and demanding environmental conditions. Several accidents have taken place in connection with such operations. Most notable in recent years is the Bourbon Dolphin accident. One of the major issues is to handle emergency situations within a limited time frame. In this project, existing and extended tools for simulating loads and responses of structures and equipment during relevant subsea operations will be applied to study aspects of how accidents develop into catastrophic consequences. In particular, the consequences of fault situations will be assessed. These studies will serve as a basis for further development of training simulators for crew and will contribute in optimised operations planning in order to limit the risks. This work will be complementary to a study of human factors aspects of the risk and other related work in the project Safe Operations of Subsea Systems managed by SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture.
