Polar Ship Design and Operations: Past, Present, and Future
From an early emphasis on geographic exploration and exploitation of the resources in the polar offshore area (by hunting for walrus ivory teeth, seals, and whales), the focus is currently shifting toward the sustainable use of the Arctic’s resources. Developments in the Antarctic are mainly limited...
