2 Welcome! from the Directors of IARC and AARI and NABOS Project Leader
Dear IARC 2013 Arctic Expedition Participants,
We welcome you to the Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS) 2013 Arctic Expedition aboard RV Akademik Fedorov.
This is our ninth scientific cruise to the Arctic Ocean under the auspices of the NABOS program that brings together international research institutions and programs. This promises to be an exciting and informative time.
Oceanographic observations have demonstrated that the 2000s were an exceptional decade, displaying extraordinary upper Arctic Ocean freshening and warming of the upper and intermediate water layers. The exceptional magnitude of recent high- latitude changes (in the ocean, but in ice and the atmosphere also) strongly suggests that these changes signify a potentially irreversible shift in the Arctic Ocean to a new climate state. These changes have important implications for the Arctic Ocean’s marine ecosystem—especially for those components that are dependent on sea ice or that have temperature- and stratification-dependent sensitivities or thresholds. Addressing these and other questions requires careful multidisciplinary observation. To these ends, this expedition will provide key information about the historical transitions occurring in the Arctic Ocean.
We hope that your experience in this 2013 Arctic Expedition will be personally satisfying and will become an important milestone in your scientific careers.
With best wishes for a successful, enjoyable, and productive participation in this 2013 Arctic Expedition,
Sincerely,
Larry Hinzman Ivan Frolov Igor Polyakov Director, IARC Director, AARI NABOS Project Leader

Cruise map
The IARC website at www.iarc.uaf.edu shows the cruise map as well as information from previous research cruises.
Policy for use of Personal Memory Sticks with Expedition Computers
Due to the prevalence of viruses, under no circumstances are personal memory sticks to be inserted into either of the two main computers tasked with running the 911plus CTD system. Data will be made available at the end of each transect for scientists to evaluate. Two computer monitors will display live feeds of the CTD data as it is collected. The CTD operator will have a dedicated monitor and scientists will have another monitor to assess the data as it acquired.
Data policy
All scientific data collected during the cruise are available for all cruise participants. Data collected within the Russian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) – see the cruise map, are subject to clearance with Russian authorities before becoming available. Clearance procedure normally takes about 2 months after the cruise termination. Dr. Sergey Kirillov will be responsible for data collection from the team leaders, communication with Russian authorities (with respect to data within the EEZ), and data dissemination among cruise participants.
Smoking regulation
Smoking is permitted only at the specially designated areas marked by corresponding signs. No smoking in cabins, laboratories, lounge etc.
Alcohol policy
Expedition and Summer school members are subject to the Drag Free Workplace Act of 1988 and will comply with its requirements. They shall comply and adhere to the UAF and NSF regulations and policies pertaining to business ethics, health (including drugs, alcohol and substance abuse), safety and environment (including pollution) and marine operational matters.
On October 5, 2006 the UNOLS council adopted a "dry ship" policy in regard to alcohol consumption aboard UNOLS ships. Adoption of this policy was driven in part by demands from US funding agencies (NSF and ONR) to ban alcohol consumption aboard scientific ships. Ship operation funds will be linked to the operator's ability to implement and enforce a zero-tolerance alcohol policy aboard scientific vessels.
It is strictly forbidden for the scientific party and summer school members to bring, possess and consume alcoholic beverages aboard the ship. Chief Scientist is responsible for the behaviour of all member of scientific cruise (including summer school members). Chief Scientist is enjoined to ensure that all members of scientific party are aware of the rules. He should take action to ensure 21 compliance to the rules. Chief Scientist is permitted to load and carry in secured storage alcohol for purposes of official entrainment on board, e.g. of foreign VIPs. Each such entertainment occasion shall take place only in port, not underway.
Kirkenes, Norway and Misc.
Airport arrival A shuttle is available. Have Norwegian Kroners for payment. The same is true for return transportation to the airport. Kirkenes is small and any driver will know the locations of all hotels.
Lodging There are several hotels in Kirkenes. However, since they do not have plenty of rooms it is recommended to book hotel beforehand. In case of problems while booking hotel you may apply to Henricsen Shipping Service AS, NABOS agent company in Kirkenes with reference to NABOS-2013 cruise: Phone: +47 78991129; e-mail: [email protected]
Practical Advices 1. Change currency before arriving in Kirkenes. Normal banking hours are 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday thru Friday. You will need both Kroners and U.S. dollars. 2. Be aware that credit cards are not accepted everywhere in town.

Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Regulation Note
All University of Alaska Fairbanks employees and charter party participants are subject to, and must abide by, the university’s policy and regulation on Discrimination and Sexual Harassment, P04.02.020. Full text of the policy and regulation is located at: http://www.alaska.edu/bor/regulation/4r/r04- 02.html
Safety Guidelines aboard the R/V Akademik Fedorov
Developed by the NABOS group in consultation with UAF Risk Management and Captain Tom Smith, University of Alaska Marine Superintendent
I. Introduction This document, in conjunction with the attached document ―RVOC Safety Training Manual, chapter 1 Research Party Supplement‖ (Attachment 3) is intended to describe the safety protocols to be employed during the NABOS expedition. Additionally, the authority structure of the expedition and a system of watches will be described because a safe working environment is directly affected by an ordered operation during scientific activities conducted by personnel who are well rested. Participation in scientific operations requires that you have read these documents. All participants of the expedition should understand that inherent risk is associated with shipboard operations. Operations occur around the clock, twenty-four hours per day. We work with heavy equipment, near and over the side of a vessel. Conditions can be windy, icy, slippery and cold. Rough weather can cause the vessel to pitch and roll. Additionally, we are working aboard a ship-of-opportunity, and not a dedicated research vessel, and therefore certain operations must be improvised. This manual is part of an effort to establish a culture of safety during the expedition that will try and make all operations as safe as possible. If any participant has a concern, or if they think something is unsafe, or if they have suggestions on how to improve operations, they should communicate their concerns and/or suggestions to their shift operations safety officer and/or to the cruise chief scientist.
It is the policy of the NABOS group that safety comes first and science comes second
II. Chain of Command a) On a ship, the Captain is ultimately responsible for the safety of the passengers. The Captain has authority over all operations which impact the safety of participants or the safety of the ship itself. b) Because of the unique nature of our charter aboard a ship of opportunity, and as described in the NABOS charter agreement with ship owner, certain responsibilities are given to the scientific party. UAF personnel have authority over the other personnel who run the hydrographic stations. c) The Chief Scientist for the cruise is Dr. Vladimir Ivanov. Except where superseded by the authority of the ship’s Captain, he has ultimate authority with regard to scientific 23 operations. As he cannot be expected to be available and working 24 hours per day, there will be a designated Watch Safety officers Dr. Igor Ashik and Dr. Sergey Kirillov from AARI. During mooring operations, IARC Chief Mooring Technician, Mr. Ian Waddington (or the person he authorizes), will be in charge of operations, and will be expected to determine the window of safety appropriate to the circumstances. d) Expedition participants are encouraged to point out unsafe operations or conditions to the on-duty watch officer. Under such circumstances, it is the responsibility of the watch officer to assess the situation, and make a decision about how or if the operation should proceed.
III. Establishment of Watches Every oceanographic station will be supervised by an individual who is highly experienced with oceanographic operations: a watch officer. This individual is responsible for supervising, including directing the general safety of operations. This person has the authority to halt operations, et cetera. This person should be able to communicate fluently both in English and in Russian, and experienced with directing the ship when lines are in the water and solving problems such as back-lashed winches, et cetera. Under extreme circumstances such as issues with winches or lines or equipment, the on-duty watch officer should involve the most experienced person on the boat to help resolve the issue, if necessary waking them up. The watch officer may participate in the operations as is reasonable, but should not be essential to such operations in order that they may be able to step back, observe, and direct. Each participating group shall communicate to the Chief Scientist a 12-hour watch schedule for their activity with hours, personnel and room numbers, and who should be notified of an upcoming station during each shift. During our scientific survey, the responsible Watch Safety Officer will be responsible for notifying the group leader of each watch as a station is approached. The daily operation plan, including schedule of watches (Attachment 1), will be posted in public areas at decks 5, 6 and 7. This is only the document to advise the Captain or his Chief Mate on duty to carry out research activity. Any corrections must be authorized by the Chief Scientist or Watch Officer on duty. The Watch Officer completes the Station List (Attachment 2) reporting all performed research activities. During the oceanographic station no research activity is allowed without notification and only upon permission of the Watch Officer. The Watch Officer is authorized to communicate with the Captain or his Chief Mate on duty regarding any performed research operations.
IV. Personal Safety Equipment: All expedition personnel will be required to wear a suitable hard hat (helmet) when in the area of scientific operations. Recognizing the extreme climate that we operate in, this helmet should be of the type that can easily be worn over a hat. Cold weather liners should be provided. Failure to wear adequate equipment may mean that you are dismissed from operations until you are properly attired. It is the responsibility of the Watch Officer to enforce this. Long hair should be properly secured. Jewelry such as rings should be removed. Personnel should wear protective eye wear (safety glasses) when working in close proximity to equipment or operations that potentially expose them to eye hazards. Additionally, safety- toed shoes or boots will be worn when working with or near loads that could impact or roll onto the foot area. We have had good luck with these workboots: http://www.muckbootsonline.com/steel_toe_chore_work_boot.html
All safety-related training will be documented with topic of training, name of trainee, and training content.
V. Safety practices demonstration and drills 24 A safety practices seminar on the operations deck will be conducted where typical issues and proper practices are discussed. a) Topics to be discussed: dynamic loading, wire inspection and safety, operations in under roll, backlashing of a winch, et cetera. b) Demonstration of proper procedures for handling of loads in under roll: Use of tag lines and stays. The Russian crane operators should participate in this. Tag lines should be rigged for all ice-free operations, as they are difficult to rig rapidly if needed. They only need to be secured when the watch officer determines their need.
VI. Mooring operations These operations are the most dangerous at-sea operation. There are a number of convenient vantage points where these operations can be observed. There is a core team of mooring technicians who are responsible for mooring operations day or night, whenever a station comes along. However, successful operations require a large team, about 8 persons. Fully manned shifts will be established before all mooring operations.
The mooring team and Chief Scientist will gather all participants in mooring deployments together prior to the operation to discuss the upcoming activity. Difficult/risky procedures will be identified as well as overall work-flow.
VII. Safety consciousness The NABOS team will strive to cultivate a culture of safety where people are encouraged to voice concerns and have them answered.
VIII. Safe Operating Conditions As stated in our charter, it is the responsibility of the ship’s captain to determine the safe operating conditions of the vessel, and the science party will defer to the Captain’s judgment if conditions exceed the operating capacity of the vessel. Complementary to this, the Chief Scientist or the Watch Officer will have the authority to halt operations if conditions are deemed unsafe. During any operation, any member of the party should bring safety concerns to the attention of the watch officer or mooring technician who has the authority to evaluate the situation and make a decision about how to proceed, or to shut down the operation, as their judgment warrants. During mooring deployment and recovery, the mooring technicians have the authority to conduct the operation safely, and if he/she feels that the operation cannot be completed safely, to abort the operation.
IX. Ice-station (buoy deployment from the ice) a) Ice stations require a special set of considerations. The Chief Scientist will first test the ice with probes to determine the suitability of the ice conditions for making an ice camp. Once the safety of the ice has been established, expedition members will be permitted to venture onto the ice. b) Hazardous regions such as melt-ponds, et cetera will be flagged and must be avoided. c) Polar bears are a potential danger while on the ice. There will not be an armed guard available. However, a watch will be maintained on the bridge at all times while expedition members are on the ice. The ships horn will be blasted to notify parties on the ice of their need to return to the vessel.
X. Accident/Incident Reporting and Notification
1. Individuals involved in an accident/incident have the responsibility to notify the Chief Scientist, or other authorized Watch Officer, immediately after the accident, or incident, 25 has occurred. The person involved in an accident will complete a University of Alaska Accident/Incident Report (Attachment 4) at their earliest convenience and forward to the Chief Scientist, or other authorized Watch Officer. If the person involved in the accident/incident is unable to complete the report, it will be completed by the Chief Scientist or other authorized Watch Officer. Accident/Incident Report forms can be found at http://www.uaf.edu/safety. Completed forms will be faxed to Environmental Health, Safety, and Risk Management (EHS/RM) at 907-474-5489 within 48 hours.
2. In the event a work-related injury/illness requires hospitalization, or is fatal, the Chief Scientist or authorized Watch Officer will notify EHS/RM immediately to facilitate mandated reporting to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Patients admitted to the ship’s infirmary, under the physician’s direct care for 8 hours or more, will be considered ―hospitalized‖. When contacting EHS/RM regarding a hospitalization/death, please include the following information: patient name, location of accident, time of accident, a contact person and the telephone number of the contact person, a brief description of the accident, the number of fatalities or hospitalized employees, and the extent of any injuries. EHS/RM will make the required notification to OSHA based on the information provided. Failure to notify OSHA within 8 hours of hospitalization or fatality can result in citations and monetary penalties assessed to UAF, specifically the department failing to make the notification to EHS/RM. It is imperative that EHS/RM be contacted as soon as there is knowledge of an impending hospitalization, or a fatality occurs, to facilitate this OSHA notification.
3. In the event there are any questions regarding these procedures, how to report a hospitalization or a fatality, or if you need to consult with a safety officer, please contact EHS/RM at (907) 474-5413. After hours, weekends, holidays, etc., call University Emergency Dispatch at (907) 474-7721 and they can relay the message to an EHS/RM safety officer.
4. State of Alaska Report of Occupational Injury or Illness (Attachment 5), also referred to as the Workers' Compensation Form, should be completed for all accidents requiring medical treatment and/or hospitalization, or time off work due to work-related injury/illness, or when an injured employee loses consciousness. If in doubt, contact EHS&RM for guidance on when and how to complete this form. Unfortunately, these forms are not available online so hard copies need to be hand-carried to your field operations. The Chief Scientist or other authorized Watch Officer will complete a Report of Occupational Injury or Illness within 10 days of the date of the accident. Completed accident forms should be distributed as follows: The Blue copy must be sent to the Alaska Workers' Compensation Board in Juneau, Alaska; the address can be found on the front of the form. The Pink copy should be sent to ESH&RM, the white copy must be sent to Statewide Risk Management, and the employee keeps the Yellow/Green copies. As typical mail service will not be available, these forms can be faxed to the Department of Statewide Risk Management at (907) 450-8151. Failure to report claims in a timely manner may result in an assessment of penalties against the University by State agencies. Departments will be responsible for paying any fees arising out of their delayed reporting.
