In September 2015, the research expedition Oden Arctic Technology Research Cruise (OATRC 2015) was carried out in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard with the Swedish icebreakers Oden and Frej. The expedition was carried out by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in collaboration with the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat. Two similar expeditions was carried out in 2012 and 2013. OATRC 2015 was a project associated with Sustainable Arctic Marine and Coastal Technology (SAMCoT), which is a centre for research-based innovation, initiated by the Research Council of Norway and hosted by NTNU. The main scientific scope of the research expedition was: Collection of full-scale data necessary to build, calibrate and validate models for floaters in ice. Collection of full-scale data necessary to build, calibrate and validate models for Ice Management operations. Collection of data relevant for health, safety and environmental research. Investigation of exposure to whole body vibration for icebreaker crew. Whole body vibration denotes that the entire body is exposed to vibrations. Studies show that the risk for pain in the lower back is doubled when people are exposed to whole body vibrations. Few investigations have been conducted regarding exposure to whole body vibration for icebreaker crews. Previous studies have focused on other types of vessels, not icebreakers. The main purpose of the study was to measure level of exposure to whole body vibrations for icebreaker crew during Arctic icebreaking conditions. The levels of exposure will be compared to levels of acceptance as published by the Swedish Work Environment Authority and international standards. Depending on the results of the measurements, researchers may also investigate whether problems with the lower back are more common among icebreaker crews. The project was a test of the ability to use an ice radar to make continuous measurements of sea ice thickness from the icebreaker Oden. Different antenna types and different frequency ranges ...
