Risk-Based Cost Benefit Analysis of Offshore Resource Centre to Support Remote Offshore Operations in Harsh Environment
Marine Logistics support during regular and emergency operations in remote North Atlantic regions is risky due to longer helicopter flying distances and extreme environmental conditions. In this paper, the safety and economic aspects of the previously introduced concept of an intermediate offshore r...
