... in December 2021 and January 2022 over the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in a westerly direction. A lack of accurate real time data regarding ice conditions and the influence of changing meteorological conditions severely complicated voyage planning. Normal voyage planning for the Northern Sea Route is based...

In particular, their safety factors (or load and resistance factors), load calculation methods, material requirements, environmental criteria and other factors were not developed for ice conditions. Ice design codes include API RP 2N (API...

... When drilling in shallow waters a pure Dynamic Positioning (DP) station keeping solution may not be sufficient for the small offset requirements, hence to increase the station keeping capacity a mooring system is required. In ice infested waters, with extreme ice conditions, the ability...

... by implementing a strong slope at the side of the vessel. This hull shape allows the vessel to break ice over the entire ship length. The azimuth propulsors deliver the required thrust for turning the drill ship. The vessel is able to operate in ice without icebreaker assistance up to very severe ice conditions...

... development, while others (e.g. winterization of support vessels) are unique to the north. Ice conditions, wind and wave conditions, geotechnical characteristics, and, in some cases, accurate bathymetry are relatively unknown in many arctic areas, and this uncertainty leads to design conservatism...

This allows for determination of a tow commencement date, route planning, and timing for the site surveys at the new...

Heavy ice breaking away from these features may be carried west (or east) by ocean currents and prevailing winds, and eventually may represent hazards for offshore installations in the Beaufort Sea.
