The growing interest for Arctic and Antarctic shipping activities due to the decreasing ice
cover will also increase the risks of accidents on these waters. The design of ships for ice …

Global warming has led to rapid warming in the Arctic region and continuous melting of ice
and snow, and the seaworthiness of the Arctic shipping routes is increasing significantly …

Under severe Arctic ice conditions, escort operations are the most efficient methods for
facilitating shipping. Nevertheless, escort operations are among the most dangerous …

As Arctic sea ice shrinks due to global warming, the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and the
Northwest Passage (NWP) offer a substantial reduction in shipping distance between Asia …

There is significant risk associated with increased oil and gas exploration activities in the
Arctic Ocean. This paper presents a probabilistic methodology for Ecological Risk …

Abstract The Northern Baltic Sea, as one of the few areas with busy ship traffic in ice-
covered waters, is a typical sea area exposed to risk of ship accidents and oil spills in ice …

The Arctic is an ecologically diverse area that is increasingly vulnerable to damages from oil
spills associated with commercial vessels traversing newly open shipping lanes. The …

The effects of climate change are being seen world wide as changes in weather patterns
and environmental events, such as extreme weather, increased flooding and hurricanes …

The significant increase in global energy demand has drawn the attention of oil and gas
industries to exploration of less-exploited resources. Arctic offshore region is reported to …

A model that can evaluate the ecological risk posed to the Arctic marine ecosystem is
presented in this paper. The proposed model is aimed at evaluating the risk of an accidental …
