The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring physical changes in a marine structure. More particularly, provided is a system for monitoring physical changes in a marine structure, comprising a complex optical measuring instrument which senses the behavior and structural changes of the marine structure using at least one optical sensor using a fiber optic Bragg grating. According to the present invention, a measurement method using an optical sensor is implemented to accurately monitor physical changes in the marine structure on a real-time basis. The present invention relates to the real-time predictive monitoring and controlling of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic environmental internal/external forces, hull stresses, motion with six degrees of freedom, and the location of a marine structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for providing information on fuel savings, safe operation, and maintenance by synthetically measuring changes in a marine float, such as the slope in each direction, draft, trim, corrosion, erosion, and cracks of the marine float, and the pressure, stresses, vibrations, and frequencies applied to the marine float, which are caused by aerodynamic environmental internal/external forces and predictively controlling the marine structure based on the measurement. According to one aspect of the present invention, provided is a method for providing information on fuel savings, safe operation, and maintenance by the real-time predictive monitoring and the predictive controlling of aerodynamic environmental internal/external forces, hull stresses, motion with six degrees of freedom, and the location of a marine structure.
