marine structures
(OP)
Can someone tell me what is a typical range for factor of safety in ship or other marine structure?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: marine structures
A better approach is to look at the loading conditions, and structural capacity, or stress level.
For ship design, the following will be helpful:
Modern Ship Design
by Thomas C. Gillmer
Introduction to Naval Architecture
by Thomas C. Gillmer and Bruce Johnson
For dynamic loading on ships, see:
Dynamics of Marine Vehicles
by Rameswar Bhattacharyya
For marine structures in general see:
Design of Marine Facilities for the Berthing, Mooring, and Repair of Vessels
by John W. Gaythwaite
For offshore structures specificily, see publications of API (American Petroleum Institite).
Other helpful sources can be obtained from SNAME (Society of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering) and the Naval Institute Press.

i hope this could help
RE: marine structures
I have gone back and using first principals figured out what the safety factors are that match the required structure that comes from many of these references and in most cases they are higher than those required by AISC or other land structure codes.
If I had to summarize, the normal safety factor might be say, 2 to 1 on yeild stress rather than 1.67 to 1.
Of the rule books mentined above, I have found that DNV (Det Norske Veritas) is the most objective.

The F.S is dependent of type of structure (ship, fixed structure), as eureka states so make sure which rules you use.
