... of the simulator. Comparisons with model scale tests and full-scale measurements are provided to demonstrate the validity of the simulator. Finally, the planned further development is described. icegoing ships Arctic ice simulation ice load Proceedings of the ASME 2023 42nd International Conference...

... when several ships were stuck and delayed in the Arctic waters, it becomes ever more important to have accurate and timely ice information as well as to account for the underlying uncertainties in the sea ice products. To this end, the present study evaluates the variability in estimated total sea ice...

... Abstract For safe and cost-efficient operations of new and existing offshore Arctic pipelines, monitoring of pipeline structural integrity is imperative. A well-founded pipeline integrity management program can optimize production output, extend the life of the pipeline, and serve as a tool...

... north has brought the challenges of exploration, production, and transportation in the cold regions like Prudhoe Bay, the Mackenzie Delta, and the Arctic Islands into focus. To transport hydrocarbons to market, pipelines used in the Arctic have unique challenges and stringent design conditions that must...

... Abstract Surface ocean waves are one of the potential processes that influence on the Arctic sea-ice extent. A better understanding of the generation, propagation, and attenuation of ocean waves under the sea ice is necessary to discuss the future Arctic climate change. We deployed two drifting...

.... For each vessel, except for the icebreakers, the risk index based on POLARIS was calculated using the open-access ice information that was provided by the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in Russia. The variation of risk index was analyzed with respect to various parameters such as the ice-class...

... Abstract Offshore pipelines in an Arctic or ice-covered environment face unique challenges different from traditional subsea pipeline design. In 2018, Intecsea as lead consultancy delivered a report to the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Alaska Region which provided...

... Abstract A model for the computation of failure probabilities for partly reshaping mass-armored berm breakwaters in the Arctic is presented. The model consists of a reliable tool for the design of port structures in the rapidly changing Arctic environment and considers the simultaneous effects...

... 01 11 2011 The reported presence of one third of remaining fossil reserves in the Arctic has sparked a lot of interest from energy companies. This has raised the necessity of developing specific engineering tools to design safely and accurately arctic-compliant offshore structures...
