The development of this field, which is located in the area of the Storegga Slide, requires safety assessment. NGU and Norsk Hydro ASA, in cooperation with the University of Bergen and Sogn og Fjordane College, have carried out a project with the aim to collect and compile data on slides, avalanches and gravitational faults that may have resulted from large earthquakes or tsunamis in northwest Western Norway. A major task in the present project has been to investigate the spatial extent and interpret the origin of a postulated mass-movement event ca. 2000 year ago and to evaluate its causes; climatic variations, a tsunami (possibly caused by an earthquake affecting the offshore area), an earthquake only affecting parts of western Norway, or a combination of an earthquake and a tsunami.

  • Summer 2013 Visualizing Collision Risk
    A Quarterly Magazine from ABS Summer 2013 Visualizing Collision Risk he image above offers a graphical representation of vessel traffic off the Norwegian coast. Vessel traffic maps like this provide valuable data used in planning offshore oil Tand gas projects. One of the critical early steps in developing offshore exploration and development plans is to understand, and then mitigate, the risk of a vessel colliding with the drilling rigs, production facilities or support vessels that will be operating there. Offshore energy projects are growing in size, importance and number around the world, bringing new vessels and equipment into some already well-traveled seas and coastal areas. With many of those production facilities slated to remain on site for decades, collision risk studies are becoming an increasingly important element in planning the long-term operational safety of these activities. The map was produced by risk analysts at Trondheim, Norway-based Safetec, a subsidiary of the ABS Group of Companies. v A Quarterly Magazine from ABS Summer 2013 COVER: For as long as there are ships to inspect, surveyors have learned the core skills of their craft by working alongside experienced senior colleagues. Mentors remain the heart of surveyor education and training. An article on the art of mentoring begins on page 24. FEATURES: New Technologies for Marine Applications 2 A major building program helps one naval architecture firm celebrate seven decades of bringing new ideas to life. From the Front Lines: At the Offshore-Marine Interface 6 Collision risk studies are growing in importance to planning offshore energy projects.
