Abstract

The paper will provide an overview of platforms and their impact in the context of climate change on the seas and oceans. It discusses the types of platforms, and the technologies used to improve performance in the face of severe weather and sea level rise. The proposed work emphasizes the importance of integrating innovative solutions to improve the offshore industry. Analysis conducted so far highlight different types of platforms, classified according to their specific use and structural characteristics, highlighting their essential role in optimizing performance and adapting to changing climatic conditions. In the context of the challenges posed by climate change, this article will explore these typologies and discuss their importance in developing efficient and sustainable solutions capable of meeting future challenges. The aim is to improve the long-term performance of the offshore industry and optimize their adaptability in the face of new extreme conditions. In addition, the technological advances needed to ensure the continuous optimization of these platforms in an increasingly unpredictable environment will be analyzed. The study in this paper, based on literature data, aims to implement solutions for the optimization of offshore platforms. This is driven by the need to respond to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and extreme weather events, thus ensuring the safety, efficiency and sustainability of platforms in the long term.
