The overall objective of the program is to develop knowledge, tools and technologies for environmental beneficial oil spill response strategies for ice-covered waters.
The program will
improve our ability to protect the Arctic environment against oil spills
give improved basis for decision-making and
enhance the state-of-the-art in Arctic oil spill response
The program was initiated in September 2006 after a comprehensive preparation phase and it will last until end of 2009. The program covers R&D areas as;
Mechanical recovery
Use of dispersants
Burning of oil spills
Remote sensing and
Numerical modelling
Laboratory and field testing of tools and methods is an important part of the program.
