Description
Summary:In this paper we will look into Hyperbaric Evacuation in the Arctic and Cold Climate regions and particularly in the Barents Sea. By hyperbaric evacuation is meant all means for safe transportation of the divers in saturation until decompressed onshore. Further the hyperbaric life boat on Subsea 7’s Diving Support Vessel (DSV) Seven Havila is investigated for use in these areas and the potential limitations the existing design has on diving operations in the area will be discussed. Hyperbaric evacuation The Hyperbaric evacuation is divided into three phases, and the following is considered in this paper for each phase:
