"Inter-organizational coordination of mass rescue operations in complex environments” (MAREC) 

PROJECT PERIOD: January 2018 – December 2020

The MAREC project is focusing on inter-organizational coordination of mass rescue operations in complex environments. The project aims at improving the knowledge on the emergency preparedness policy framework and the coordinative roles and mechanisms of the rescue services. The project addresses inter-organizational and inter-jurisdictional coordination of large scale crisis situations including several emergency agencies and several countries.

The empirical setting of this study will be mass rescue operations both at sea and land, where a broad range of emergency response actors, including volunteers are involved. Theoretically, we build upon and contribute to the management theory, emphasizing generic managerial roles and coordination processes, organizational theory on structuring mechanisms, and institutional theory in targeting environments where a large number of stakeholders are involved.

There are four work packages (WP) which are described under “Project Structure”.

Operational logistics and business process management in High Arctic oil and gas operations (Oplog)

The Oplog project studies the offshore oil and gas supply chain and the relations between offshore service vessel companies and the petroleum companies operating oil and gas fields in the Arctic regions. There is a need for increased knowledge on operational concepts suited for Arctic conditions. The Oplog-project analyses innovative business process management concepts in offshore logistics operations, particularly the organizational configuration of the shipping services that support platforms or other floating units located in Arctic waters.
The Oplog project also studies the interface between the ship-owners operational management, the offshore vessels taking part in in a logistics operation and the oil company responsible for the offshore logistics.

Main objective:
The main objective of the Oplog-project is to increase understanding of the relations between the operational context, offshore logistics systems and the management of the business processes included in an offshore supply chain.

Sub-goals:

• Map operational logistics challenges and demands for the offshore supply vessel (OSV) fleet in Arctic waters compared with the North Sea.
• Shed light on business models and specific business processes of shipping firms in different contexts, with emphasis on innovation.
• Increase knowledge about the operational management of interaction between vessels, platforms, supply base and field coordinators at oil companies
