Offshore operations in Arctic waters
Transatlantic has developed an inte grated operation system that combines offshore and
ice management services.
We conduct safe and efficient operations in the sensitive Arctic waters.
Transatlantic sets the standard for operations in Arctic waters.
Transatlantic has de veloped an integrated operation system that combines offshore and ice management services. The system provides our customers with safe, efficient operations that reduce environmental foot-print.
Transatlantic Ice MasterThe Transatlantic Ice Master is a tool for Arctic offshore
operations, developed in cooperation with SSPA in Gothen-
burg. Transatlantic Ice Master is a total approach to offshore
support operations during Arctic conditions, such as towage,
anchor handling, supply, ice management as well as environ-
mental protection services.
Based on a series of variables and the customers specific
targets, an optimal operational set up can be calculated giving
the probability of achieving the desired operational goals. All
our experience from Arctic operations is integrated in the mod-
el and new experience is continuously fed into the system. The
Transatlantic Ice Master enables our customers to accurately
calculate the optimal solutions for complex Arctic operations.

Transatlantic Ice AcademyTransatlantic Ice Academy is a unique, company-sponsored
training program that provides cutting-edge training in ice
management and icebreaking. The Transatlantic Ice Academy
offers theoretical and practical ice training to Transatlantic and
to the officers and crew of clients/partners, thus preparing
them for demanding operations in icy conditions.
The current training programs consist of the following:
“Ice training”, “Arctic training”, “Cold climate shipping” and
“Dynamic positioning operations in Arctic waters”.
In the Ice Academy’s advanced vessel simulator, it is also
possible to set up an entire Arctic offshore operation in order
to train the crews in advance of the actual Arctic operation.
The Transatlantic Ice Academy is operated in partnership
with the Kalmar Maritime Academy and is approved by the
Swedish Maritime Authorities to issue the official ice endorse-
ment required to work under icy conditions.
Transatlantic Ice CouncilThe Transatlantic Ice Council is an international ice advisory
board, established independently from Transatlantic, with the
objective of providing ice management and icebreaking advice
based on the collective experience of its members. The Ice
Council advises Transatlantic and its clients on how to cope
with challenging icy conditions and develop new methods for
safe and efficient operations.
The leading international ice experts on this advisory board
are from Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada, Germany and the
United States and have been selected for their experience and
operational excellence.
The goal is to share best practices and knowledge in respect
of safe and efficient operations in the sensitive Arctic environ-
ment. The Transatlantic Ice Council is funded by Transatlantic
but is an independent body with its own agenda. Its Chair-
man is Anders Backman, former head of the Swedish State
icebreaking services and an internationally recognized expert
in Arctic marine operations.
