| Summary: | ABSTRACT. During the past decade, the need to transport oil and other cargoes through the waters of the Arctic has resulted in an increase in knowledge and under-standing of the operational problems involved. The techniques of transportation systems analysis as developed for open-water shipping, together with a careful economic analysis of the special problems of operation in icebound waters, may provide the key to the development of an economically-viable,marine transportation system for the Arctic. ReSUMe. ProbIPmes dans I’e‘tude d’un sys the de transport maritime pour l’Arctique. Au cours de la dernikre dhnnie, le besoin de transporter du p6trole ou d’autres car-gaisons dans les eaux de l’Arctique a conduit B une meilleure connaissance et & une meilleure comprkhension des problèmes techniques que cela implique. Les techniques d‘analyse des systèmes de transport mises au point pour la navigation en eau libre et une analyse konomique soignee des problèmes particuliers aux opCrations dans les eaux engl&s pourraient fournir la cl6 du dkveloppement d’un systkme de transport maritime konomiquement viable pour l’Arctique. |
