Quarterdeck Post #3


Captains,
Our third podcast is about the Arctic. Ben Strong's recent participation in the Arctic Shipping Summit in Helsinki Finland prompted our discussion. Hope you enjoy it.

Look for our regular podcasts on the AMVER blog.

USCG Arctic Operations

Captains,
One of the topics Admiral Allen mentioned in his IMO General Assembly speech is "climate change". Climate change could impact seafarers in a variety of ways. In the Arctic, for example, where there was only ice, now there are seasonal open seas. Fishing, cruising, oil exploration, global shipping, military operations, and Coast Guard services are now being conducted in the Arctic. I delivered the following presentation on Coast Guard operations in the Arctic.
