Scoping Study: Ice Information Requirements for Marine Transportation of Natural Gas from the High Arctic
This report describes a scoping study that was performed to investigate methods for improving transportation in the High Arctic. Fourteen Captains of ice-class vessels were interviewed. They unanimously said that the detection and avoidance of multi-year ice was the key issue. They also indicated th...
