Transcripción del resumen del autor. This paper describes a risk-based maintenance management system for protective coatings and how it might influence offshore maintenance processes. Maintenance of protective coatings is one of the more resource-demanding and, hence, costly operations on offshore installations. On older platforms, typically about 5% of all man-hours are related to coating maintenance (including scaffolding). The cost is strongly influenced by initial coating system selection and maintenance strategy, together with the required lifetime. A new, risk-based maintenance management system is being developed, and Part 1 of this series discussed the risk analysis methodology. Parameters influencing the risk related to coating maintenance have been identified, and a framework for control and monitoring of these parameters has been established. This framework aims to optimize maintenance and inspection programs through risk evaluations, and may affect: -inspection methodology and intervals, -priority-assignment during maintenance, -coating selection, and -follow-up of suppliers and contractors.
