Structural integrity assessment is the study of the safe design and assessment of components and structures under loads, and has become increasingly important in engineering design. The technology and applications of structural integrity widely range from transportation, oil and gas, power generation to petrochemical, nuclear sectors, etc. In this paper, the character of structural integrity assessment in the maritime field is discussed, the latest approach and techniques are classified in three sub-topics, damage diagnosis, damage prognosis & maintenance strategy and then illustrated using a few practical studies. Finally, the future challenges introduced by new material, new exploitation field and new technology, i.e., IOT, big data, etc., are discussed and the potential development of structural integrity assessment in maritime industry is explored.
