Evaluation of maritime transportation activities in the Canadian Arctic

International audience This paper aims to provide a better understanding of maritime transport activities in the Canadian Arctic and its evolution since 2002. The methodology is original in the sense that it proposes a threefold analysis based on three different indicators. As well as using the two...

The methodology is original in the sense that it proposes a threefold analysis based on three different indicators. As well as using the two most common indicators (number of trips to the Canadian Arctic and number of trips within the Canadian Arctic), this contribution is amongst the first attempts to quantify maritime transportation activities in the Canadian Arctic in terms of distances travelled by vessels within the area. This quantification of Canadian Arctic shipping traffics in actual nautical miles travelled partially fills the information gaps resulting from the use of the first two indicators. Indeed the information is necessary for future more accurate evaluation of the footprint of maritime transport on the Canadian Arctic environment and to better understand the risks of navigation in this region. Furthermore, the results detail the nature of the rapid growth in commercial shipping within the Canadian Arctic in recent years.
