Design and modelling of boat landing for jacket platforms in the Adriatic sea

Boat landings on fixed offshore platforms are designed to absorb the impact energy from the boats approaching the platform for crew transfer. As the size and speed of operating boats vary, the design and maintenance of the boat landings become more challenging. Different oil and gas operators adopt different design criteria for the boat landing design. The objective of this study is to develop structural calculations and safety checks regarding a boat landing structure installed on an Offshore Platform in Canale di Sicilia. The useful international codes are ISO 19902 and to carry out the structural modeling by means of GT STRUDL program, which is widely used in Europe. Calculate the defined loads such as dead loads, live loads, wave loads and Impact loads. The design calculations and checks done as per the international codes.
