  • The Role of the Norwegian Coast Guard in Control Management: Discurse Or Guns?
    WORKSHOP IN POLITICAL THEORY AND POLICY A-NAUVSfS 513 NORTH PARK Paper presented at the "Fifth Common INDIANA UNIVERSITY Property Conference: Reinventing BL0OMNGTQN. WBIANA 47408-3186 the Commons", Boda, 24. - 28. May 1995 Session: Enforcement and Control in Marine Fisheries THE ROLE OF THE NORWEGIAN COAST GUARD IN CONTROL MANAGEMENT: DISCURSE OR GUNS? I By Geir B. H0nneland NORUT Social Science Research Ltd., Troms0, Norway 1. Introduction1 In keeping with the tradition from Garrett Hardin's The Tradedy of the Commons (1968), controlling the harvesting of natural resources has been viewd as an element of I power utilization: Authorities survey the observance of regulations in order to punish violators. This paper includes another aspect of enforcement in marine fisheries. Control bodies may reach their goal of preserving the resource basis by seeking to increase the legitimacy of fishery regulations among fishermen. The traditional view of enforcement implies a control activity based on coercion, where fishermen are threatened by economic sanctions if revealed in violation. An enforcement based on discursive actions, 1 More elaborated accounts of the questions raised in this paper, are given in Norwegian language in H0nneland (1993 and 1995). 1 on the other hand, seeks to influence fishermen's behaviour by appealing to their reason and their trust in the righteousness of regulations. These theoretic approaches will be further elaborated in the first part of this paper. Subsequently, a brief outline is given of the organization of fisheries control in the Barents Sea, as well as the jurisdictional and management framework it operates within. In the last part of the paper, relevant tendencies in the violation statistics of the Norwegian Coast Guard is presented, and this empirical material is discussed in view of the theoretical focus of the paper.

  • The Ortelius Incident in the Hinlopen Strait—A Case Study on How Satellite-Based AIS Can Support Search and Rescue Operations in Remote Waters
    resources Case Report The Ortelius Incident in the Hinlopen Strait—A Case Study on How Satellite-Based AIS Can Support Search and Rescue Operations in Remote Waters Johnny Grøneng Aase 1,2 ID 1 Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 129, Hobart, TAS 7001, Australia; [email protected] 2 Department of Research and Development, Norwegian Defence Cyber Academy, P.O. Box 800, Postmottak, NO-2617 Lillehammer, Norway; [email protected]; Tel.: +47-9285-2550 Received: 26 April 2017; Accepted: 24 July 2017; Published: 27 July 2017 Abstract: In this paper, Automatic Identification System (AIS) data collected from space is used to demonstrate how the data can support search and rescue (SAR) operations in remote waters. The data was recorded by the Norwegian polar orbiting satellite AISSat-1. This is a case study discussing the Ortelius incident in Svalbard in early June 2016. The tourist vessel flying the flag of Cyprus experienced engine failure in a remote part of the Arctic Archipelago. The passengers and crew were not harmed. There were no Norwegian Coast Guard vessels in the vicinity. The Governor of Svalbard had to deploy her vessel Polarsyssel to assist the Ortelius. The paper shows that satellite-based AIS enables SAR coordination centers to swiftly determine the identity and precise location of vessels in the vicinity of the troubled ship. This knowledge makes it easier to coordinate SAR operations. Keywords: tourism; polar; search and rescue; SAR; Arctic; Svalbard; AISSat-1; Ortelius 1. Introduction On Friday 3 June 2016 at 12:30 am local time, the tourist vessel Ortelius reported engine trouble in the vicinity of the Vaigatt Islands in the Hinlopen Strait.

SECURITY POLICY OBJECTIVES The principal objective of Norwegian security policy is to safeguard and promote national security policy interests. This is best achieved by contributing to peace, security and stability both in areas adjacent to Norway and in the wider world. Nationally Norway must be in a position to uphold its sovereignty and sove- reign rights and to exercise authority in order to safeguard our interests. At the same time, the progress of globalisation means that geo- graphical distance is no longer a determining factor for potential threats to our security.

  • Changes in and Recent Experiences from Norwegian Emergency Towing Service (NETS)
    the International Journal Volume 15 on Marine Navigation Number 1 http://www.transnav.eu and Safety of Sea Transportation March 2021 DOI: 10.12716/1001.15.01.21 Changes in and Recent Experiences from Norwegian Emergency Towing Service (NETS) T.E. Berg & Ø. Selvik SINTEF Ocean, Trondheim, Norway ABSTRACT: The Norwegian Emergency Towing Services (NETS) is managed by the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA). In the early days of the NETS, the operational part was sheared between commercial tug companies and the Norwegian Coast Guard (NCG). A major change in the organization of the operation took place from January 1st 2020, when NCG was given the operational responsibility for NETS. This change is briefly described and the vessels in today's NETS are presented. Statistics for drifting vessels in Norwegian waters are presented before some selected recent maritime emergency incidents are highlighted. Actions by the NETS vessels and other NCG vessels will be highlighted. Handling of "FV Nortguider" after the grounding in Hinlopen (Svalbard) and the wreck removal work is one of the cases. The other two are drifting ship represented by the cruise vessel "Viking Sky" and the cargo vessel "Eemslift Hendrika". The final part of this paper discusses ways to ensure knowledge and operational experience sharing for personnel on vessels performing emergency towing tasks. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 ORGANIZATION OF OPERATIONAL PART OF NETS – PREVIOUS AND NEW Recent incidents in the Norwegian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) have shown the need for a Based on shipping accidents in Norwegian waters in governmental involvement in building necessary the 1990s, the government launched a study to map maritime preparedness for oil spill cases.

We focus on cross-institutional and cross-country partnerships between preparedness institutions and companies. We elaborate on the operational crisis management of joint emergency operations including several parts of the preparedness system and resources from several countries. The project goals are: • To increase understanding of the future demands for preparedness systems in the High North including both search and rescue, oil spill recovery, fire fighting and salvage, as well as capacities fighting terror or other forms of destructive action. • To study partnerships and coordination challenges related to cross-border, multi-task emergency cooperation • To contribute with organizational tools for crisis management Project characteristics: Financial support: -Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, -the Nordland county Administration -University partners.
