Two professors from the Department of Marine Technology (IMT) - Prof. Torgeir Moan and Prof. Jørgen Amdahl - helped organise the third Offshore Structural Reliability Conference (3rd OSRC) which was held 14-16 September 2016 in Stavanger, Norway, under the auspices of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP). 

The conference was organized by:

  • Prof. Torgeir Moan, NTNU (conference chair)  
  • Alf Reidar Johansen, IOGP
  • Suzanne Lacasse, NGI
  • Henrik O. Madsen, DNVGL
  • Simen Moxnes, Statoil  

The goal of the conference was to share knowledge about theoretical methods and operational experiences that be used to ensure future safe and efficient design and operations of offshore structures.

Thirty eight presentations, including three keynotes, were made followed by discussions. The conference was attended by over participants from fifteen countries, representing key stakeholders among oil and gas producers, regulatory bodies, consultants and academia.

This conference was organized in close cooperation with the Offshore Structures committees of ISO and IOGP, chaired by Philip Smedley, BP and Simen Moxnes, Statoil, respectively.
