| Abstract | In the Davis Strait and Baffin Bay, in the Canadian eastern Arctic Ocean, fishing vessels are required to conduct search and rescue (SAR) operations in the event of a nearby emergency (Government of Canada, 2023). In this remote region, there are limited SAR capabilities. In performing these Vessel of Opportunity (VOO) operations, fishing vessels have increased fuel consumption and a loss of productivity, leading to added cost and carbon emissions. This is significant to fishery operators in the eastern Arctic Ocean. The goal of this research is to evaluate the dimension of carbon emissions relating to fishing vessels acting as VOOs in an emergency situation. This analysis is performed by use of a case study, focusing on the Canadian Arctic community of Qikiqtarjuaq. The consequences of a dedicated SAR base located within the community are analyzed, focusing on the impact it would have on carbon emissions during emergency situations. |
