• Auditing Industrial Safety Management: A Case Study 

      Sydnes, Are K.; Bjelle, Sondre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      As industries are becoming increasingly self-regulatory, external auditing has become increasingly important to ensure that industrial practices are in line with regulations and the public good. This study asks if there is a fit between the industrial practices of safety management and external auditing. It concludes that while companies largely manage safety through operational-level experience and ...

    • Development and Validation of a Safety Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale (SLSES) in Maritime Context 

      Kim, Tae-Eun; Sydnes, Are K.; Batalden, Bjørn-Morten Erdal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-21)
      Extensive studies have highlighted the importance of leadership on safety in the maritime industry. However, current research lacks empirically tested theoretical models with valid and reliable scales for describing and measuring safety leadership in ship operations. This study reports the development and validation process of the first Safety Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale (SLSES) for assessing ...
    • International Cooperation on Search and Rescue in the Arctic 

      Sydnes, Are K.; Sydnes, Maria; Antonsen, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09)
      SAR in the Arctic is a complex and dynamic cross-disciplinary activity that requires the combined effort of multiple actors with specialized human and technical resources. Due to limited resources and infrastructure in the Arctic, international cooperation is particularly important. This article applies a conceptual framework drawn from regime-theory to study SAR cooperation in the Arctic. More ...
    • Learning from crisis: the 2015 and 2017 avalanches in Longyearbyen 

      Sydnes, Are K.; Sydnes, Maria; Hamnevoll, Helle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-27)
      Longyearbyen has been hit by two avalanches in 2015 and 2017 causing severe damages to housing and two fatalities. In this study we investigate organised learning processes regarding emergency preparedness and response following the avalanches. Longyearbyen provides a case of particular interest as climatic change rapidly is altering the environmental conditions, including the risk of avalanches.< ...
    • Maritime safety and the ISM code: a study of investigated casualties and incidents 

      Batalden, Bjørn-Morten; Sydnes, Are K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-27)
      Abstract In 1993, the International Maritime Organization adopted the International Safety Management (ISM) Code which requires all shipping companies operating certain types of vessels to establish safety management systems. Nevertheless, two decades later, maritime safety remains a concern. This article studies 94 maritime cases investigated by the Maritime Accident Investigation Branch in the ...
    • Maritime Security and Threat Assessments 

      Eidnes, Ingrid Batalden; Batalden, Bjørn-Morten Erdal; Sydnes, Are K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)
      Maritime security is still a challenge in international trade. In this case‐study we analyze how the Norwegian Shipowners’ Mutual War Risks Insurance Association (DNK) provides Norwegian maritime companies with regional assessments of threat‐levels. Through a survey and a series of interviews, we study factors that affect the communication and perception of threats, in addition to how maritime ...

      Kelman, Ilan; Sydnes, Are K.; Duda, Patrizia Isabelle; Nikitina, Elena; Webersik, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-03)
      The Arctic is frequently framed as a region of disaster and conflict, as well as of opportunity and cooperation. Disaster diplomacy is one approach for examining how dealing with disasters might or might not affect conflict and cooperation, yet little work on Arctic disaster diplomacy has been completed, especially regarding specific bilateral relations. This paper contributes to filling in this gap ...

    • Shipping oil from the Russian Arctic: Past experiences and future prospects 

      Bambulyak, Alexei; Sydnes, Are K.; Milakovic, Aleksandar-Sasa; Frantzen, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06)
      Transport of oil from Russian Arctic ports to Western markets was insignificant prior to 2002. In 2002, there was a major surge, with 5 million tonnes delivered westwards through the Barents Sea. By 2004, this had increased to 12 million tonnes. Since then, annual volumes have been on levels between 9 and 15 million tonnes. In the near future, the flow of oil cargo in the Arctic may rise ...
