Philosophy For Managing Risk in Arctic Operations Probability of failure

Arctic; severity of consequences drives risks

Risk Reduction must take place through prevention

Risk Reduction are Usually Implemented Through a Regulatory Regime: Arctic Regulations Normal Risks (Grounding, Fire, Severe Weather) National Legislation International Regulations Additional Risks (Temperature, Ice, Darkness…) January 2011 © Det Norske Veritas AS. All rights reserved.

Way Forward: Circumpolar Knowledge Sharing 1.

Share experience and results from international standards’ cooperation in Barents 2020.

2. Review of national /local regulatory process, as seen by regulator of host country.

3. Discuss safety regulatory approaches in light of Barents2020, the Macondo Accident, and other recent events of relevance. Use lessons from the safety regulatory approach of the North Sea.

Other Examples on Cooperation for Progress -

Member states of the Arctic Council:

Canada Denmark / Greenland / Faroe Islands Finland Iceland Norway Sweden The Russian Federation United States of America  During the Arctic Council meeting in May 2011, a multi-state Search & Rescue agreement was signed  Norway is leading the development of the IMO Polar Code.
