The workshop is designed to define the state of the art of corrosion protection of marine structures and pipelines, to define the state of the art of testing for corrosion damage, to identify the technical and non-technical barriers which hinders a fuller utilization of advanced methods for mitigating corrosion on marine structures and pipelines, and to identify research and development projects that would advanced corrosion mitigation technologies. Marine structure is defined as offshore structures, harbor structures and ship structures. Pipelines will include those used for oil and gas transmission over long distances in both onshore and offshore areas.
The workshop was held on February 9-11, 1999 at the San Luis Resort and Conference Center, Galveston, Texas. The proceedings are currently available. The workshop was completed August 2000.
