Recent Norwegian Research Relevant to Evacuation, Search and Rescue under Arctic Condition
Marine traffic is increasing in the Arctic Region. As ice in the Arctic Region retracts, opportunities for the marine industry increase. This relates to the fishing industry, which is moving further into the Arctic Seas, the shipping industry, which is using the Northern Sea Route, particularly for...

Marine traffic is increasing in the Arctic Region. As ice in the Arctic Region retracts, opportunities for the marine industry increase. This relates to the fishing industry, which is moving further into the Arctic Seas, the shipping industry, which is using the Northern Sea Route, particularly for transporting liquefied natural gas, and the cruise industry, which is transporting passengers to the last frontier on the globe. The question has been raised: Are the marine industry's activities in the Arctic Region safe for people, the environment and assets? The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Polar Code, which came into force in 2017 sets requirements for ships and procedures, as well as for the competence of those involved. In particular, there have been uncertainties regarding how people on board a ship in distress can be saved should it be necessary to abandon ship. The question is of considerable concern in Norway, which is a main stakeholder in the Arctic Region, with the involvement/passage of many fishing, cargo and cruise vessels.
