| Abstract | Ship evacuations in Arctic waters expose crew and passengers to the potential for severe life-safety consequences. Effective planning and allocation of Arctic SAR services should be supported by evidence-based assessments of the consequence severity of ship evacuations. This paper provides an evaluation of life-safety consequence severity for ship evacuation scenarios in the Canadian Arctic. Exposure time is a predominant factor influencing consequence severity of Arctic ship evacuations. The study integrates existing models for exposure time estimation and life-safety consequence. Exposure time is estimated for air- and marine-based SAR assets, considering associated capacities, speeds, and operating ranges. Evacuation scenario factors include ship type, number of POB, and geographic location. The methodology provides Arctic SAR service providers with a tool for planning effective resource allocation and response efforts. As a base case, exposure times and consequence severities are estimated for SAR response with a single asset. The effect of deploying multiple SAR assets is demonstrated. Results indicate that the deployment of air-based SAR assets contributes to reduced exposure times and mitigation of life-safety consequence severity. Evacuation of a passenger vessel is a worst-case scenario. Evacuations of high POB vessels require the deployment of multiple SAR assets to prevent potential disastrous life-safety consequences. |
