  • Specifically, the ACP [18] indicated that ‘… a route through the Arctic is highly speculative given the present uncertainty about the magnitude of the ice cover … . the route would only be partially viable for commerce during very few months of the year and would not be dependable in terms of navigability, occurrence and duration. Furthermore, it is speculated that this would only come about after the second half of this century, in 50 or 100 years, and even then, vessels would be exposed to the danger of floating ice’

  • Port of Prince Rupert [38] indicates that backhaul accounted for nearly 40% of all throughput
  • These rail lines are almost entirely served by UP railroad (except 217 miles local rail lines). In addition, the rail capacities for import containers on the UP, which would serve Mexican port, are currently operated near/at capacity [4]

  • Carmel [5] indicated that this 1000 nautical miles must be modelled separately from the remaining trip speeds. This is a fairly important assumption given that a ship travelling at even three knots would ‘most likely sustain significant damage by hitting multi-year ice’
