Introduction
As noted in the white paper on Norway's Arctic policy (the High North Report), maritime activities in the High North are expected to increase due to:
improved accessibility resulting from melting sea ice;
the high potential for increased commercial exploitation of marine and offshore resources; and
the successful marketing of the Arctic as a tourist destination.
With increased activities comes an increased risk of accidents. The remoteness, cold temperatures and vulnerability of the environment causes challenges for emergency response, including:
search and rescue (SAR);
salvage and wreck removal.
These additional risks must be taken into account by those operating in the area.
