18 CHALLENGES FOR OIL SPILL RESPONSE IN ARCTIC AREAS 18

19 Arctic features Cold Unpredictable Complex, dynamic ice Remote, few people, lack of infrastructure Light conditions Statistics Canada ITOPF National Snow and Ice Data Centre

20 Effects on and challenges to response: cold temperature cst C Wider operational window Slower spreading Less evaporation Safety, efficiency, costs Personal Protective Equipment Restricted working hours Heated accommodation Restricted operational possibilities Impeded mechanical recovery Reduced effectiveness of dispersants Winterization ITOPF

21 Effects on and challenges to response: sea ice Improved response effectiveness Natural containment Reduced spreading Dampened waves Logistical and safety challenge Unpredictable (dynamic, complex) Often unsafe to work on ice Specialized skills for response and support operations Transport challenge ITOPF NOAA RCI

22 Effects on and challenges to response: remoteness Challenges to practical operations Logistics, getting equipment on site Waste storage, treatment, disposal Communications Manpower Personnel Health and Safety Accomodation ITOPF
