The present study aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of international standards (DNV, ABS, BV, etc.) that regulate the design of mooring systems for floating offshore wind turbines. The comparative analysis focuses on the safety factors applied to the line tension of mooring systems. Firstly, an extensive literature review of the most-used floating platforms in the offshore wind industry and their correspondi...

This paper presents a detailed risk assessment framework tailored for retrofitting ship structures towards eco-friendliness. Addressing a critical gap in current research, it proposes a comprehensive strategy integrating technical, environmental, economic, and regulatory considerations. The framework, grounded in the Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) approach, adeptly combines quantitative and qualitative...
