Aker Arctic was established in 2005 as a spin off from Aker Yards. We made a 12 Mill. EUR investment to create an unique unit of engineering and design resources combined with an ice model test basin
The independent role – separation from the shipyard – opened up the global market, something which had not been possible earlier

Aker Arctic aim is to develop transportation and logistic systems for the Arctic areas
• We are serving mainly Oil, Gas and Mining industry with innovative and cost effective ship designs for different purposes.
• Our co-operation starts typically at a very early stage of the project with ice field research in the area.
• Recent examples of our work in Russian Arctic include Varandey and Prirazlomnoye oil shuttle transportation projects and Norilsk Nickel project.

Discovery of the stern-working”Double-Acting” (DAS™) principleTests in the Gulf Bothnia:� Performance similar to icebreakers due
to reduction of friction by the propeller stream
� Successful running backwards when moving ahead was already impossible
� Could not get through ridges which already were penetrated astern
� Learned a new way of operation� Ridges were ”destructed” with the
propeller stream from below� GREEN TECHNOLOGY, energy saving
up to 50%
This required investment in Azipod development and ownership and operationof two tankers in 8 years of Arctic trade !

CCG IB John G DiefenbakerAker Arctic participates in the Design of the Canadian Coast Guard’s new Polar Icebreaker
Aker Arctic is a member in the team led by local STX Canada Marine that have been awarded the 9.5 M CAD contract to design the new polar icebreaker for the Canadian Coast Guard. Expected to take 24 months to complete, STX Canada Marine Inc. will advance the design work to the point where a comprehensive design package can be provided to Vancouver Shipyards Co. Ltd. to build the vessel.
The new Icebreaker will be delivered to coincide with the decommissioning of the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent in 2017. The polar icebreaker contract has been awarded to Vancouver Shipyards Co. Ltd. The vessel will be designed and built in Vancouver. The polar icebreaker will be designed to accommodate 100 personnel with space for 25 additional people and have the ability to break through 2.5m of ice at 3 knots.
STX Canada Marine will be supported in the Polar Icebreaker Design project by a team of highly experienced partners including Aker Arctic Technology (AARC). Aker Arctic will provide their world leading icebreaker design and construction expertise to the project. Aker Arctic’s main roles will be assessment of the ice loads, development of the hull form and structure, propulsion conceptual design and descriprions on winterisation principles.

Slide 95
Ice conditions (ice types) Can’t be controlled. Should be predicted.
Ice speed vi Can’t be controlled. Should be predicted.
Vessel speed (average) vv - Depends on the IM vessels ice performance in different ice conditions.
- Should be defined (model- and full-scale tests). Speed of IM vim Depends on vv and fim
Distance between IM circles fim - Effects to the intensity of CIM (the smaller fim thehigher intensity)
- Effects to the vim (the smaller fim , the lower vim)Width of circles w - Depends on the ice forecasting accuracy.
- Determines the intensity of CIM (the smallerthe circles the higher the intensity.

Aurora Borealis Slim
ERICON-Aurora Borealis is an EU funded project aiming at developing a pan-European solution for Polar monitoring and research.The first vessel proposal was based on work done under a German Government’s grant and unfortuntaley lead into a very expensive solution causing the EC to drop the project from the ESFRI list of prioritized joint research infrastructure projects in Europe.Now Aker Arctic has been asked to come up with a ”SLIM” cost efficient alterantive, based on new technologies available in 2012.ERICON Stakeholder Meeting in Rome in October 2011 accepted this SLIM version as the basis for the final ERICON report and proposal to the Commission.
