Virtual Ice Management Operation on the Cloud - Phase-2

FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-16

Summary
Marine operations in ice-infested areas are subject to the appropriate ice management protocol to reduce downtime and infrastructure risk to offshore assets, and to protect this relatively pristine area from any environmental disaster. This makes ice management operations a socio-technical challenge that demands expert knowledge from various fields. The uncertainties in ice management operations impact decision making in physical ice management. A physics-based computer simulation of the various ice management operations will minimize operational risk, enhance safety of the crews, and reduce carbon emissions by evaluating operational efficiency.

Description

Description (French)
Les opérations maritimes dans les zones envahies par la glace sont soumises à un protocole de gestion des glaces approprié. Il s'agit de réduire les temps d' arrêt et les risques pour l' infrastructure des actifs en mer, et de protéger cette zone relativement vierge de toute catastrophe environnementale. Cette situation fait des opérations de gestion des glaces un défi socio-technique qui exige des connaissances spécialisées dans divers domaines. Les incertitudes des opérations de gestion des glaces ont un impact sur la prise de décisions dans la gestion physique des glaces. Une simulation informatique basée sur la physique des différentes opérations de gestion des glaces permettra de minimiser les risques opérationnels, d'améliorer la sécurité des équipages et de réduire les émissions de carbone en évaluant l'efficacité opérationnelle.
