INTRODUCTION

Offshore and marine projects involve complex contractual relationships, significant capital investment, technical uncertainty, and demanding execution environments. Effective contract management is essential for controlling cost, schedule, quality, risk, and commercial performance throughout these projects. Engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning arrangements require close coordination between owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, marine operators, and technical specialists. Weak contract administration can lead to uncontrolled variations, disputed claims, payment problems, delays, interface failures, and significant financial exposure. This program introduces participants to a structured methodology for managing contracts across the complete offshore and marine project lifecycle. Participants examine contract strategy, scope definition, risk allocation, commercial provisions, technical obligations, and project governance. The course provides practical techniques for managing contractual correspondence, notices, changes, claims, payments, delays, and performance issues. Special attention is given to offshore installation risks, marine operations, interfaces, commissioning obligations, and contractor coordination. Through practical application, participants strengthen their ability to administer complex contracts while supporting project objectives and protecting organizational value.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Participants will achieve the following objectives by this course:

  • Understand EPCIC contract structures, lifecycle stages, obligations, and commercial management principles.
  • Analyze contractual risk allocation across engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning activities.
  • Interpret scope, specifications, responsibilities, interfaces, milestones, and contractual deliverables effectively.
  • Establish disciplined contract administration, communication, documentation, and notice management processes.
  • Manage variations, change orders, claims, extensions, and contractual adjustments professionally.
  • Evaluate payment mechanisms, guarantees, liquidated damages, liabilities, and commercial protections.
  • Control contractor, subcontractor, supplier, and marine service provider contractual performance.
  • Identify delay, disruption, interface, installation, and commissioning risks before escalation.
