  • Perceived Implications of Privatization for Canadian Coast Guard Services, Principally Arctic Icebreaking
    Perceived Implications Of Privatization For Canadian Coast Guard Services, Principally Arctic Icebreaking by James Parsons A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY International Shipping and Logistics Group School of Management, Plymouth Business School August 2009 Abstract James Parsons Perceived Implications Of Privatization For Canadian Coast Guard Services, Principally Arctic Icebreaking Climate change, with the possibility of an ice free Arctic ocean by 2015, has generated a renewed interest in the Arctic. This interest is being driven by the possibility of easier access to the abundant supply of resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and fisheries. Interest in Arctic tourism is also growing. Retreating sea ice will provide opportunities to avail of shorter routes for maritime traffic to and from Asia, North America, and Asia via the Arctic Ocean and Northwest Passage. In addition, the rate of population growth of local inhabitants in the Canadian Arctic is the fastest in Canada and one of the fastest in the world. A growing population will increase the demand for sealift resupply to Canada's northern communities. This work presents the first attempt to examine the role of privatization of icebreaking services in light of the present and projected shortages of infrastructure to support development in the Arctic. A unique combination of multiple methods within marine transportation, comprising of Delphi, grounded theory, and quantitative survey, is applied to investigate the potential for private involvement in the delivery of icebreaking services in the Canadian Arctic. This includes a novel application of Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory approach to develop hypotheses and relationships grounded in expert opinion.

  • Martin Alexander Bergmann (1956 – 2011)
    ARCTIC VOL. 65, NO. 1 (MARCH 2012) P. 113– 114 MARTIN ALEXANDER BERGMANN (1956 – 2011) The day before a 19-metre-long research vessel set sail for the Arctic in September 2011, the sponsors of the expedi- tion renamed it the Martin Bergmann, in honour of one of the 12 people who had died in a plane crash at Resolute Bay in the Arctic 10 days earlier. Most Canadians might be for- given for not knowing who Martin Bergmann was or why an Arctic research foundation would have named the for- mer fishing trawler after a mid-level civil service director like him. “Marty,” however, was no ordinary civil servant. As director of Canada’s Polar Continental Shelf Program, he was responsible for providing ground and air support to approximately 130 scientific groups from more than 40 uni- versities and government agencies around the world. Despite the program’s shoestring operating budget, he did his job so well—and with so much passion, humour, and constructive conniving—that in the days after he died, tributes poured in from Korea, China, Japan, France, Germany, Sweden, Nor- way, and Great Britain, from the head of the National Sci- ence Foundation’s Office of Polar Programs, and from the captain of a Canadian icebreaker that had carried him and others through the Northwest Passage that summer. In Canada, biologists, botanists, oceanographers, arche- ologists, deputy ministers, defence commanders, Inuit lead- Marty Bergmann at the Franklin graves on Beechey Island.
