Breaking ice for Arctic oil : the epic voyage of the SS Manhattan through the Northwest Passage

Author:	Ross Allen Coen
Publisher:	Fairbanks : University of Alaska Press, ©2012.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"In 1969, an icebreaking tanker, the SS Manhattan, was commissioned by Humble Oil to transit the Northwest Passage in order to test the logistical and economic feasibility of an all-marine transportation system for Alaska North Slope crude oil. Proposed as an alternative to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the Manhattan made two voyages to the North American Arctic and collected volumes of scientific data on ice conditions and the behavior of ships in ice. The Manhattan ultimately demonstrated the impracticality of moving crude oil using icebreaking ships. Breaking Ice for Arctic Oil details this historic voyage, establishing its significant impact on the future of marine traffic and resource development in the Arctic and setting the stage for the current oil crisis."--Pub. desc.  Read more...
