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.
