Arctic knowledge at DNV informs risk management

摘要

Once a project is live, DNV can assist with quality control, maintenance and repair evaluations. Vessel category and availability can be an important consideration and limited accessibility for remedial action if incidents occur means extra planning effort is essential for safe Arctic operations. The protection of Arctic and sub-Arctic environments has been of increasing importance in recent years. Petroleum and shipping companies are facing rising demand for environmental safety. DNV participates in baseline studies and environmental monitoring. Their environmental risk analysis approach gives decision makers a transparent and efficient tool for identifying and quantifying risk due to accidental oil spills. It includes probabilistic oil drift modelling and toxicity and impact assessments on sensitive environmental resources. Their contingency planning toolkit includes an electronic map interface for oil spill response operations that is distributed in real time to all involved parties.
