Preventing Terrorist Attacks on Offshore Platforms : Do States Have Sufficient Legal
نویسنده
چکیده
A speedboat full of explosives crashes into an Indian oil platform located 160 kilometers off the coast of Mumbai, causing an immense explosion.1 As a result, fifteen crewmembers are killed, hundreds of millions of dollars of damage is inflicted, and India is left without a vital source of energy. Additionally, the explosion causes a massive oil leak with the attendant catastrophic ecological effects.

based assessment of offshore jacket type platforms against wave loading. This approach can be employed to obtain a more realistic estimate for the ultimate capacity of offshore platforms, in comparison to the commonly used push-over analysis. On the other hand, ocean and sea waves are both random they are irregular in shape, height, speed, period and directions. Therefore, one of the most impor...
متن کاملPassive Vibration Control for Fatigue Damage Mitigation in Steel Jacket Platforms
Considering the stress cycles in the joints and members due to wave induced forces on offshore platforms, fatigue analysis is therefore one of the most important analyses in the offshore platforms design. Although most of the steel jacket type platforms are designed and located in areas with relatively high ratios of operational sea-states, for maximum environmental events, would have acceptabl...

Since the end of the Cold War and the onset of deadly terrorist attacks in different areas of the world, especially in the United States, these representations show a palpable difference: Muslims are predominantly represented ...
متن کاملEffect of earthquake directional uncertainty on the seismic response of jacket-type offshore platform
In the seismic risk assessment of structures, two main random variables are involved, namely the vulnerability of the structure and the seismic action. The aim of the study presented here is to analyze the seismic behavior of the jacket-type offshore platforms as an expensive and vital structure. Furthermore, the influence of the incidence angle of the seismic action is also investigated by usi...
