ABSTRACT
Despite the significant increase in maritime activities in recent years in the Barents Sea, maritime search and rescue (SAR) modelling and simulation in the Arctic waters, including in the Barents Sea is a relatively less researched area. The present study proposes an agent-based modelling framework, which models and simulates different SAR scenarios and evaluates the performance of the SAR system under various operating conditions, while considering the dynamicity and uncertainties of the weather and sea conditions.
Keywords: Agent based modelling, Arctic offshore, Search and rescue operations, Barents sea.
