Arctic Maritime Challenges

 with Ove Tobias Gudmestad, Professor Emeritus, Stavanger.

Ove Tobias Gudstad is presenting the Arctic parts of his work as a Professor Emeritus at the Maritime Department in Stavanger. He will cover the following points:

- The Arctic maritime scene
- Discussion about fuel; burning heavy oil emits soot, covering the ice with a black layer of dust.
- The sustainability of the cruise industry
- Survival in a lifeboat or a raft
- The limitations of the International Polar Code
- Access to minerals, year-round transport
- Is the use of the Northern Shipping Route sustainable?
- Future weather trends as the ice cover is retracting
- There will still be cold winter periods

From the meeting: Shipping in the Arctic. The Arctic is a mystical place. This evening, IDA Maritime and DSNAME would like to invite you to an event where we will explore the Arctic from a maritime perspective.
