Abstract

Vessels planning a passage in the Canadian Arctic face many risks, most notably from ice, extreme weather, remoteness, and uncharted or poorly charted bathymetry. For ship operators who view the Arctic as a relatively untouched area of opportunity, the desire to operate vessels in the Arctic brings new challenges and risks. This study introduces the Polar Operational Limitations Assessment Risk Indexing System (POLARIS) and demonstrates its use for assessing ship operational limitations using open-access historical ice information. The analysis of ship operational limitations in ice was aided by the construction of POLARIS scenario risk maps which were clearly demonstrated as a useful tool to support the strategic appraisal of ice conditions. Lastly, several use cases are provided to demonstrate how POLARIS and historical ice information can be used to support the strategic appraisal of ship operational limitations in ice.
