Some discussions on the design parameters such as water depth and environmental conditions were presented. The ultimate goal is to provide a general overview of the many processes of offshore platform design, construction, loadout, transportation, and installation. Some historical developments of some offshore structures are presented, and some project planning routines are undertaken in this research. To achieve these, proper planning must be conducted for lifting, transportation, installation, design, fabrication, and commissioning of these offshore platforms. This paper is the second part, which outlines various processes, loads, design approaches and project management of offshore platforms. Different actions for suitable equipment selection, platform type design, and drilling/production processes are required for the applications of these offshore structures, as given in Part I. These structures are tailored for certain environments and sea depths. Offshore structures exist in a variety of forms, and they are used for a variety of functions in varied sea depths.
