Arctic Challenges and
NTNU research areas:
• Petroleum center - IPT
– Arctic geophysics and drilling
• Marine technology center - MTS
– Ship design and control systems for extreme conditions (design,
safety, structures, cybernetics, hydrodynamics etc.)
– Centre of Excellence: CeSOS; Centre for ships and ocean
structures
– Chair in Sustainable Arctic Transport sponsored by the Ministry
of Trade and Industry
• Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory (AUR-lab)
• SFI - SAMCoT
– Marine Technology for Arctic Offshore Field Development and
technology for Arctic Coastal Development
13
Hydrocarbon exploitation in ultra deep water
and arctic areas define new requirements:
• Limited support from surface
vessels
• Demand for all-year inspection and
intervention operations
• Permanently installed multitasking
hybrid underwater vehicles
(ROV/AUV) is enabling technology
• Subsea energy recharging and
high bandwidth communication
hubs are required
• Robust control systems handling
multi-regime operations to be
designed

Ice Management Research cooperation with Kongsberg Maritime
• Ice mapping using sonar • Environmental
monitoring
• Survey operations
• Inspection

Drilling needs new solutions
• Arctic drilling ship
• Drilling under ice
• Drilling from
onshore

Concerned with: • Destination transport • Field logistics • Transit logistics
Majority of Arctic transport is found in Norwegian waters today: • Traffic density > 65 deg N
for 6 months (W/S) from AISSat-1

Sustainable Arctic Sea Transport – Challenges and Focus Areas
Challenges • Individual vessel design for extreme conditions • Safe operations and transport • Fleet and operations management in remote
locations
Focus Areas • Design of the individual vessel for Arctic conditions • Simulation-based design of ice going vessels • Identification of the optimum fleet size and mix for
Arctic conditions

19 Ship design for the Arctic Recent research findings
Optimisation of ice strengthened hull structures – a Finish-Swedish Ice Class and IACS Polar Class comparison. Ehlers S., Riska K. 2012.
• Identification of optimal structural layout
• Influence of the design point on the cost and weight
Large potential to decrease
mass and cost through
optimization for ice-loading

SFI - SAMCoT
• SAMCoT shall be a leading national and international
center for the development of robust technology
needed by the industry for sustainable exploration
and exploitation of the valuable and vulnerable Arctic
region.
• SAMCoT will meet the challenges due to ice,
permafrost and changing climate for the benefit of the

WP4 - Floating Structures in Ice
Goals:
To develop new knowledge, analytical and numerical models needed
by the industry to improve the prediction of loads exerted by first-
year and multi-year level ice and ridges as well as icebergs on
floating structures.
This also implies prediction of the behaviour and performance of the
structures.
