Classification society DNV GL says it has created a new interactive map showing environmental and safety hazards in the Arctic.

The map provides a visualisation of changes in risks based on seasonal distribution of ice, physical conditions, animal life, shipping traffic, oil and gas resources, and accident history.
DNV GL uses two indices, a Safety and Operability Index, which shows the levels of risks to ships in different parts of the Arctic, and an Environmental Vulnerability Index, which measures Arctic species’ vulnerability to an oil spill.
