...Abstract Abstract The IMO Polar Code requires operators to consider the hazards associated with the specific environment of operation in Polar waters. Various sources of climate and environmental data are publicly available to quantify environmental hazards. This study considers an example Ice...

...Abstract Abstract Ice management is an important consideration for any offshore petroleum operation conducted in an area that could encounter sea ice. Ice management could be performed for a number of reasons: to reduce global ice loads on the installation, to avoid ice interaction...

... operation. The first propulsion solutions were modifications of well proven technology. We had fixed pitch and controllable pitch propellers connected directly to low speed diesel engines or through a gearbox. In some applications the propeller was equipped with a nozzle. In the 1970ies and 1980ies we were...

...Abstract Abstract This paper presents operational experience and ice measurement results from Finnish Icebreaker Polaris propulsion system. Icebreaker Polaris applies a novel three propulsion unit concept. During the shipbuilding period an extensive ice load measurement system was installed...

...Abstract Abstract The benefits of using satellite imagery in arctic maritime operations are well known. Synthetic Aperture Radar and optical imagery from polar orbiting satellites can provide valuable information about sea ice and presence of icebergs both on a local and regional scale. The sea...

A special custom/one-off hull shape has been engineered to ensure the Vessels can perform reliable module transportation in Arctic conditions within a limited timeframe. The requirement for stern-to loadout and discharge operations made...

...Abstract Abstract Objectives/Scope Arctic hydrocarbons were written off when oil prices dropped. Yet, the Arctic is diverse, and there are some fields with attractive economics. Since circumpolar littoral states do not subsidize hydrocarbon resource developments, operators must confirm fields...

In the paper we will describe what kind of methods were used when selecting the design criteria when operating in extremely harsh environment. When jumping from PC6 class to PC2 class it is a whole...

...Abstract Abstract Drifting icebergs can threaten navigation and marine operations and are prevalent in a number of regions that have active oil and gas exploration and development. Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is naturally applicable to map and monitor icebergs and sea ice due its...

... Remote Sensing Imagery and the derived ancillary products improved the efficiency and safety of upstream oil and gas operations on the North Slope of Alaska. These Arctic regions are remote, very difficult to access in general and sometimes only seasonably accessible. Our prudent...

...Abstract Abstract The Drake pipeline is located offshore Melville Island, in the Canadian High Arctic. It was built on-site in 1977-78 and connected to a natural gas production well, which operated for only a few months. The well was plugged in 1995 and the pipeline was abandoned. The pipeline...

While it may seem plausible to position up-drift ice management operations based on ice drift forecasts, forecasting unfortunately has insufficient precision to achieve the necessary level of reliability. To remedy this problem, ExxonMobil has...
