Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify that the design engineering and associated verification of ice loads on the hull complied with the regulations.
Result
No non-conformities were identified.
Improvement points were identified in connection with:
- Quality controls of analyses
- Verification of specifications
- The probability of collision with sea ice and icebergs
- Combinations of sea ice loads with hydrostatic pressure
Equinor has been given a deadline of 12 July 2018 to report on how the improvement points will be addressed.
