Various applications of reliability theory to ship and offshore structures are described. Consideration is given to the differences between general reliability theory and structural reliability, discussing also the role of the latter in structural design. The examples described concern both the total and the theoretical probability of structural failure, that is failures due to any causes and the ones due only to structural causes. A brief account is given of the load effect and strength models adopted in the structural reliability studies of ships and offshore platforms.
