Summary: Malaysia currently has approximately 200 fixed offshore structures, some of which have been in operation for over 40 years, which is well beyond its design life. In order for these ageing fixed structures to continue in service or extend its operation, the current structural integrity condition of these assets needs to be identified, addressed, prioritized and the appropriate mitigation that should be implemented planned, which is the topic of the current research.
