PORT STUDY
Corps draft feasibility study on ports due in March
by - Margaret Bauman
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to release in early March a draft feasibility report recommending a configuration of docks that garners the highest net benefits to the nation while serving ships traveling to and from the Arctic. The draft document may also show an alternate plan, if the state of Alaska would like to pursue a different configuration, said Lorraine Cordova, the economics team lead for the Corps office in Anchorage. That will be followed by a 30-day public review, then a Corps review, a civil works review board and.... http://www.thecordovatimes.com/article/1403port-study

Just after noon on Sept. 4, 2010, a squat, yellow-black cargo ship lumbered out of the Norwegian port of Kirkenes. Naked ridges of glacially scarred granite slid by on either side as the Nordic Barents motored toward the open sea with 41,000 tons of iron ore locked in her belly. It might have resembled a routine voyage to Western Europe. But the sense of normalcy vanished as the ship reached the mouth of the fjord, a geographic and economic crossroads at the extreme northern edge of Scandinavia. Rather than proceeding forward toward Europe, the Barents swung slowly to the right -- to the east. The ore in its hold was destined for smelters in China. To get there, the ship would do what few.... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20140113/antarctica-and-arctic-game-multinational-monopoly
