A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO
SEA TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
IN THE ARCTIC

SEA TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
IN THE ARCTIC
WHY – WHAT – HOW
Is situational awareness in the Arctic vital?
Reducing the risk of collisions […] requires a monitoring system that provides continual and proactive decision-making support for navigators.
Mattias Rust, Maritime Officer at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Action:
…
• Analyse the Arctic operating environment and security arrangements from the perspective of comprehensive concept of security, and develop shared situation awareness.

With more activities in the Arctic, there is an increasing need to monitor and understand how such activities affect the security of Canada’s marine transportation system. Situational awareness is key to decision-making, not only for security purposes but also for safety, environmental and economic reasons.

Development towards increased shipping in Arctic waters involves agreater risk for accidents… Greater awareness of traffic at sea, in the air and on land helps to reduce the risks of accidents. Active efforts in terms of preventive measures, surveillance and rapid accident response can reduce the risks…

In order to meet the greatest number of requirement drivers and supportsustainable Arctic growth safely, the CMTS recommends that the United States make it a priority [to] support maritime domain awareness, for vessel monitoring and vessel management schemes…

What is situational awareness?
•Traffic situation – who is where
What is situational awareness?

•Intentions
•Follow-up
Awareness needs to beforward-looking! And that’s Sea Traffic Management…
Sea Traffic Management – the movie:

Who needs this Arctic forward-looking awareness?
•Cargo owners and passengers
•Shipping companies
•Insurance companies
•Maritime authorities…
…some captains…

Does forward-looking awareness in the Arctic pose a challange?•It’s remote
•It’s harsh
•Communications are unreliable and expensive… (Or not. We’ll come back to that.)
Forward-looking awareness
- Early warnings
- Corrective action
- Breaking chains of events!
But only if we can do itin real(ish)time!
By the way, what is real(ish)time?
Well, we went over the top:
•15 sec. – 3 min. update intervals
•3-5 sec. latency
•0,04 % downtime > 6 min. Icebreaker Oden’s 28 day journey Sweden – Greenland and back, August 2013.
The business case, today
•Leasing-price, all inclusive:30-50 USD/day(50 % of which is data traffic costs - Iridium)
The business case, tomorrow
•Substantial cost reduction potential
– Route exchange and messaging standard in nav equipment (MONALISA)
– Sharing of communication link (LRIT and SSIS requirements)
The business case, future
•Satellite AIS
– Real(er) time monitoring (today: no 24/7 satellite coverage)
– Shorter latency (today: aiming at 30 minutes)
•Satellite VHF? Comms to the ship?
The business case, upside

The business case, upside
•LNG from Melkøya to Yokohama
•NSR instead of Suez
•Full roundvoyage - Spot market rate, including NSR fees
•Savings USD 8 264 000Source: http://chnl.no/publish_files/Henrik_Falck.pdf
The business case, upside
In conclusion:
Savings: 8 million USD/round-trip
Minus 30 to 50 USD/day (present onboard cost estimates, MICE)
= Still 8 million USD
But what about the § ?
Article 234 of UNCLOS, ice-covered areas:
In such areas, coastal states have the right to adopt and enforce non-discriminatory laws and regulations for the prevention, reduction and control of marine pollution from vessels within the limits of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
So, let’s come together…
EEZ’s of the Arctic coastal states
Take-away #1
WHY?
Arctic shipping must be Safe and Environmental, Efficient and Economical.
Take-away #2
HOW?
MICE brings forward-looking awareness to remote places. Today.
Take-away #3
THE COSTS?
Right on the money!
Thank You!
