Projects

The purpose of the project Shipping in Arctic Waters is to present a comparative practical oriented, holistic cross disciplinary study of the different Arctic Sea Routes;

Statoil ASA supports the joint efforts of Arkhangelsk State Technical University (ASTU), Baltic State Technical University (BSTU), and Murmansk State Technical University (MSTU) in creating of a common competence arena in the sphere of logistics and transport in the High North.

The resources are in the Arctic but the growing market is in the Far East. In order to access the offshore oil, gas and mineral deposits, the harsh climate, long distances and lacking infrastructure require new logistics systems and solutions, therefore there will be a growing demand for new sustainable and efficient maritime logistics systems (ship and equipment, infrastructure, operation, organization, contractual regimes/ maritime jurisdiction, etc.)

Shipping in Arctic Waters will form the core of an indexed and searchable knowledge database. The CHNL WIKI will provide a quality controlled, continuously updated and complete overview of knowledge related to “Logistics in the High North”.
