Marine Structures

Marine structures are large constructions designed to operate in or on the water, such as ships, oil platforms, piers, and breakwaters. They are built to withstand harsh conditions like strong waves, currents, and storms, and serve purposes including transportation, resource extraction, and shoreline protection. Engineers carefully design these structures to ensure safety, durability, and environmental compatibility, often using specialized materials and techniques. Marine structures are essential for supporting maritime activities, facilitating global trade, and protecting coastlines from erosion and flooding.
