EPCIC Contract Management in Offshore & Marine
EPCIC Contract Management in Offshore & Marine is a five-day programme that helps contracts, legal, and project teams administer offshore engineering, installation, and commissioning contracts from tender to final acceptance. It builds the practical skills to allocate marine risk, control interfaces, and close out offshore projects cleanly.
Introduction
EPCIC Contract Management in Offshore & Marine examines how engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning contracts are tendered and administered at sea. This Training Course covers scope definition, marine spread planning, installation risk, and interface control across topsides, subsea, and pipelines. Participants study FIDIC and LOGIC forms, knock-for-knock liability, weather downtime, and offshore completion mechanics. Furthermore, the programme connects contract wording to offshore execution through case studies and clause workshops. As a result, delegates leave able to manage EPCIC contracts from award to final acceptance.
EPCIC Contract Management in Offshore & Marine Course Objectives
- Define EPCIC contracting and distinguish it from EPC and EPCM models.
- Structure lump-sum and reimbursable EPCIC contracts for offshore work.
- Draft scopes covering topsides, subsea, pipelines, and installation.
- Allocate marine, weather, and installation risk correctly.
- Apply FIDIC, LOGIC, and CRINE conditions to offshore contracts.
- Set performance guarantees, liquidated damages, and delay damages.
- Manage interfaces between fabrication yards, vessels, and installation crews.
- Control variations, re-measurement, and claims on offshore scope.
- Administer offshore milestones, mechanical completion, and commissioning.
- Manage final acceptance, defect liability, and contract closeout.
Course Methodology
- Interactive workshops using real offshore contract and installation cases.
- Structured clause analysis of FIDIC and LOGIC conditions.
- Tendering simulation from ITT issue to award recommendation.
- Guided negotiation exercises on marine risk and weather downtime.
- Practical review of completion certificates and offshore closeout files.
- Action planning that converts each session into a workplace commitment.

- Offshore project directors, managers, and installation engineers.
- Legal counsel and claims specialists in marine construction.
- Procurement, tendering, and subcontracting personnel.
- Planning, cost control, and quantity surveying staff.
- Marine warranty, assurance, and classification specialists.
