ABSTRACT
When crude oil is extracted, it must somehow be transported from the drilling site to a refinery. Such transport can either be by pipeline or by ship when the drilling site is offshore. It is very unlikely that a refinery will be built in Greenland. With the Greenlandic geography in mind, it is selfevident that the transport of the crude oil must be made by ship (i.e. most likely by shuttle tanker), and indeed over quite a distance in waters that can often be harsh.
