Risk Assessment System V1

The motivation for developing an integrated risk assessment system is to provide insights and to simplify the process of integration, analysis and use of INTAROS data within Arctic marine risk assessments. This will support business planning and development in the Arctic region. An overview of information, products and services requested by users representing primarily the private commercial sector has been collected via stakeholder dialog and the INTAROS user survey. Among the most important products identified, are risk assessments associated with safe navigation and hydrocarbon extraction. Other relevant products are operational services harnessing real time observations and/or short-term forecasts and ship routing services.

The risk assessment system will be built upon “The Arctic Risk Map” (https://maps.dnvgl.com/arcticriskmap/), a system designed to present data from the Arctic marine environment in an easily accessible way with focus on clear and transparent communication.

Selected use cases include sea ice and anthropogenic noise and they are presented with some requirements towards input data and parameters. The report describes a first version of the envisioned system. It specifically addresses these use cases in light of their value to the industry and potential for uptake. The outcomes of the final system will be reported in D6.15 (September 2021).
