About Joerik Minnebo

Joerik Minnebo leads SOFEC\'s Asset Integrity group, which defines and implements the Mooring Integrity Management Strategy for new and existing floating offshore units, including aspects such as component selection, inspection regime (RBI), monitoring approach, data evaluation, and operational support. Joerik places significant emphasis on the qualification, development, and implementation of new technologies when it comes to inspection and monitoring, including digital methods, to ensure the condition and performance of the mooring systems can be accurately assessed and adequately addressed. Starting with SOFEC as a mooring engineer, Joerik quickly engaged in the design, analysis, installation, inspection, and lifecycle management of mooring systems. Some of his previous responsibilities include component and package management, and he coordinated multiple offshore mooring inspections, repairs, replacements, and new installation campaigns worldwide. Joerik is also active in the broader mooring industry, leads the Mooring Integrity User Group (MIUG), contributes to various panels and committees, and frequently presents at industry conferencesHe holds a Master\'s degree in Offshore Engineering from Delft University of Technology and a Bachelor\'s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology.

Experience

1. Lead Asset Integrity Engineer

   Sofec, Inc

   Jan 2019 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   I founded and currently lead SOFEC\'s Asset Integrity group, guiding a team of engineers in developing integrity strategies, inspection plans, and monitoring systems for the mooring systems which SOFEC provides. We work closely with our operating clients to implement and execute these strategies during operations. My team performs thorough technical evaluations of inspection and monitoring data, assessing the condition of individual anchor legs, their components, and the overall mooring system.Within the MODEC group, I serve as the focal point for mooring operational support, overseeing subsea inspections, data monitoring and evaluation, incident and emergency response planning, life extensions, and Class inquiries.Some of our significant achievements include developing and standardizing a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) program for mooring systems, which we successfully implemented on multiple new and existing assets, developing and deploying new mooring monitoring systems, establishing a remote monitoring infrastructure and developing a mooring Digital Twin solution, which provides our operations teams with real-time insights into the operational performance of the mooring systems.
