Abstract (EN): Terology is a concept introduced to synthesize all the actions related to the managing of the life cycle of facilities and equipment as an enlarged maintenance perspective. Nowadays, the concept tries to give some contribution to integrate the environment in this approach. The concept has been implemented in several fields, namely for wind mills in existing works. Now, it is expanded to the problem of marine wind farms taking into account the singularities of the marine environment. In fact, if the maintenance problems in wind farms are so diverse like the reading of on-condition data, their synchronization and, after, their transmission, in marine wind farms the problems are bigger, including the distance from GSM antenna to transmit and read data remotely. Additionally, and not less important, there is the distance between the marine wind farms and the staff responsible by its maintenance. In this case, the resources and time involved to develop maintenance interventions are much more expensive when compared to similar actions in land. Finally, nevertheless this kind of energy being green it also implies some environmental problems, related to the birds and fisheries.
