The Barents Sea (subarctic region) is a climatically sensitive area with increasing maritime activity and scarce onshore infrastructure. The installation of Floating Production Storage and Off-loading units (FPSOs) in this region may hide the emergence of unexpected risks due to the intertwining of new technologies and extreme (but fragile) environment. An FPSO in this region would need to be equipped and built for meeting high safety standards. Specific barrier management strategy and a barrier status panel supporting the related decision-making may be employed. The purpose of the panel would be to provide an overview of the status of the barrier functions and elements in the area to protect. Indicators and modelling structures, used as baseline for the panel, may allow further analysis and aggregation of the information collected, reducing uncertainty over time.

Abstract
The Barents Sea (subarctic region) is a climatically sensitive area with increasing maritime activity and scarce onshore infrastructure. The installation of Floating Production Storage and Off-loading units (FPSOs) in this region may hide the emergence of unexpected risks due to the intertwining of new technologies and extreme (but fragile) environment. An FPSO in this region would need to be equipped and built for meeting high safety standards. Specific barrier management strategy and a barrier status panel supporting the related decision-making may be employed. The purpose of the panel would be to provide an overview of the status of the barrier functions and elements in the area to protect. Indicators and modelling structures, used as baseline for the panel, may allow further analysis and aggregation of the information collected, reducing uncertainty over time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
