With sadness SNAME Arctic Section has to announce of the death of:

TEMPEST – Douglas William Vane (1954 – 2006)

Doug Tempest passed away suddenly while riding his favorite bicycle on June 29, 2006.

Doug was a well-known offshore engineer in Calgary, whose talents were widely recognized by the industry. He received his Master’s degree in Naval Architecture and his work since then was dedicated to oil and gas facilities at sea.
The highlight of Doug’s professional career was to manage the conceptual and front end of international projects as a Vice President of Technologies with Tri Ocean Engineering. His later works included conceptual designs for the offshore and onshore facilities in the Canadian Arctic, Alaskan North Slope, Caspian Sea and the Russian Northwest (Komi Republic).

Doug was a SNAME member and a frequent visitor to the SNAME Arctic Section luncheons. He did an outstanding presentation at the final 2006 Arctic Section luncheon, just a few days before his passing. He will be always remembered by his colleagues, members of the Arctic Section and the Icetech06 Committee, and many friends.

The Arctic Section of SNAME would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Doug’s wife, Janice, and his wonderful children, Kyla, Rosie and Eric.
