28 Risk = Probability x Consequence North Sea/World wide Arctic R R Identify Mitigate Ex. Maritime Risk: Collision with other vessel Contact Fire/explosion Structural failure Grounding Collision with installation Collision during Ship To Ship (STS) approach Accidental oil spill during loading/unloading Additional risk 28

29 Arctic Risk Risk = Probability x Consequence Due to the Arctic Challenges: Low Temperatures Ice Darkness Operation Remoteness Higher Consequence of an incident! Environment 29

30 Frequency Low Medium High Risk Matrix In order to maintain same Risk, - the Probability has to be reduced Low Medium High Consequence - The standards have to address the need for a reduction in probability 30

31 Risk Management Focus on Prevention Barriers to eliminate & prevent causes of hazardous event Barriers to control consequences & effects Cause 1 HAZARD Consequence 1 Cause 2 TOP EVENT Major Accident Consequence 2 Material Fatigue Inspection HC Leak Gas Detection Ignition Control How does Arctic conditions affect the barriers? 31

32 Main Risk elements related to Arctic Shipping Estimation of cost Design Long Term Commitment Emergency Evacuation and Rescue Regularity / Logistics The Environment 32

33 Ships for navigation in ice 33

34 WINTERIZATION - Adapt safety, navigation and cargo handling equipment for cold climate to ensure operability ICE CLASS, Baltic or Polar - Strengthening of hull and machinery 34

35 Winterization Winterization for health - Maximizing human performance and preventing injury, fatigue or sickness Winterization for safety - Ensuring the operability and availability of safety-critical equipment and systems Winterization for operability - Maintaining desired operations 35

42 Rules and Regulations International Rules and Regulations - IMO - SOLAS, MARPOL - ISM, STCW - etc. International Standards - ISO standards Class Rules and voluntary Notations - IACS Polar Class - Class Notations - Guidelines Winterization National Rules and Regulations - Flag state - Port state - Special national requirements 42

43 The New IMO Polar Code There is a need for a common set of mandatory requirements following increased traffic and interest in both Arctic and Antarctic Initiative from Denmark, Norway and USA Risk based with Functional requirements - Supported by deterministic requirements when found necessary Add-on to existing requiremnets To be finished from DE 2012 My be adopted in 2013, earliest in force from

44 IMO definition of Arctic 44

45 ELIMINATING RISK IS NOT AN OPTION It s how you manage your most critical risks 45

46 Conclusions Arctic Operations: Technical challenges are not a showstopper Evaluate actual route, area of operation and regularity Carry out risk analysis of the actual operation Select proper Standards, Ice Class and Winterization A well prepared owner/ship, trained and focused crew will handle the extreme conditions well 46
