Tanker Design Considerations for Safety and Environmental Protec- tion of Arctic Waters – Learning from Past Experience

Oil and gas transportation from the Arctic will have many challenges, but experience available from tanker operations in the winter Baltic can provide valuable information for the industry. The paper reviews data on the operations in the Baltic. It compares the new Polar Class requirements with the...

Description
Summary:Oil and gas transportation from the Arctic will have many challenges, but experience available from tanker operations in the winter Baltic can provide valuable information for the industry. The paper reviews data on the operations in the Baltic. It compares the new Polar Class requirements with the Baltic ice class require-ments, and discusses design aspects which are not cov-ered by traditional ice class rules.
