Abstract
Guidelines for transfer of oil and refined oil in Arctic waters. This document was presented on the Senior Arctic Officials meeting in Selfoss, Iceland, May 4-5 2004. The guidelines are written for vessels that may be supplying Arctic communities, industries, and other vessels working in the Arctic. The purpose of the guidelines is to prevent cargo/fuel oil spillage, and the resulting damage, during transfer between any two vessels or between a vessel and shore facility, in either direction.
