Servicing the Arctic. Report 3: Design of an Arctic Offshore Supply Vessel (AMTSV)

Background To design a ship its specific design requirements are to be known. These are, together with class notations, specified in previous reports and extended in this report. Since the requirements are formed iteratively, design freedom is possible. This is used to implement several innovations into the design which improve the performance...

Servicing the Arctic. Report 2: Evaluation of Damen Concepts in Arctic Conditions: Concepts Survey

Background At the start of a design it is often good to look at comparable designs. What choices were made, what are the operations, what equipment is used? This report looks at three Damen ships, which are already capable of offshore support. These vessels are designed for open water. Looking just at what has to improve for operating in the...

Servicing the Arctic. Report 1: Design requirements and operational profile of an Arctic Offshore Support Vessel: Literature Survey

Background The Dutch maritime industry has only limited knowledge about Arctic engineering, in spite of a growing market and interest by the oil and gas industry. This literature survey is the first in a series of three reports to develop a concept design of an Arctic Offshore Support Vessel (AOSV). The purpose is to give a perspective on Arctic...

Man-made islands in Mackenzie River: Evaluation of hydraulic design

Norman Hells is situated on the north bank of the Mackenzie River, 145 km south of the Arctic Circle. The use of a pool-wide water flood system for secondary recovery and the features of the oil-bearing structure require six man-made platforms to provide vertical access to the portion of the oil pool that 1 ies beneath the Mackenzie River (60%)....

The use of explosives for clearing ice

Manual for the determination of the magnitude of the explosive charge to clear ice covers in rivers and canals. This is mainly to remove ice barriers in rivers, and of lesser importance of breaking an ice cover for navigation only (because that is usually done with icebreakers).
