Abstract

Growing commercial activities in the High North increase the possibility of unwanted incidents. The vulnerability related to human safety and environment as well as a challenging context, call for a strengthening of the maritime preparedness system, cross-border and cross-institutional collaboration. In this paper, we look into the different stressors and risk factors of the sea regions in the High North. We elaborate on emergencies where integrated operations like mass evacuation is needed. We build upon in-depth studies of two cruise ship incidents close to the Spitsbergen Islands, and full-scale exercises in the Arctic region. We claim that coordination of such operations where several institutions and management levels are included demands significant integration and communication efforts. Implications for the training of key personnel responsible for coordinating such operations are discussed.
