Abstract
The National Research Council of Canada has developed an integrated risk assessment tool called Canadian Arctic Shipping Risk Assessment System (CASRAS). This system has been created in response to the opening of the Arctic and sub-Arctic to industrial exploration and marine operations, which was largely triggered by the decline of sea ice. The increase in northern activities has created the urgent need for rapid access to disparate information from multiple sources, and the ability to plan voyages in compliance with the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code), which entered into force on January 1, 2017. CASRAS brings together the best available environmental and regulatory data, and documents experiences and knowledge of mariners and Northern community members. This information supports decision making by the shipping industry, offshore operators and government departments. Users can easily retrieve data that ensures safe, responsible and economically viable operations.
