The paper presents a risk assessment methodology for operational limit states of submarine outfall projects that considers: the environmental legislative framework, the climate agents acting on the coastline and prediction of the plume long-term behaviour near the coastline. The probability of operational failure or stoppage is assessed enabling decision on project design alternatives.
