Development of reliability-based management of inspection, monitoring, maintenance and repair (IMMR) of various types of offshore structures is described, with a focus on management of hull damage due to crack growth. Operational experiences are summarized, and recent developments relating to fatigue loading, resistance and reliability approaches are described. The interrelation between design criteria and IMMR is emphasized. It is shown how design for robustness - in terms of residual fatigue life and residual overload capacity, choice of inspection method and scheduling as well as repair strategy - needs to be implemented so as to obtain an acceptable risk for various types of offshore structures.
