The official Northern Sea Route encompasses all routes across the Russian Arctic coastal seas from Kara Gate (at the southern tip of Novaya Zemlya) to Bering Strait. The Northwest Passage is the name given to the marine routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the northern coast of North America that span the straits and sounds of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Three historic polar voyages in the Central Arctic Ocean are indicated: the first surface shop voyage to the North Pole by the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Arktika in August 1977; the tourist voyage of the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Sovetsky Soyuz across the Arctic Ocean in August 1991; and, the historic scientific (Arctic) transect by the polar icebreakers Polar Sea (U.S.) and Louis S. St-Laurent (Canada) during July and August 1994. Shown is the ice edge for 16 September 2004 (near the minimum extent of Arctic sea ice for 2004) as determined by satellite passive microwave sensors. Noted are ice-free coastal seas along the entire Russian Arctic and a large, ice-free area that extends 300 nautical miles north of the Alaskan coast. The ice edge is also shown to have retreated to a position north of Svalbard. The front cover shows the summer minimum extent of Arctic sea ice on 16 September 2002.

    Appendix E Technology Evaluation Feasibility of Using Existing Emission Control Technologies for Marine Applications There are a number of control technologies that have been proven to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) from diesel- fueled engines used in on-road, and off-road, applications. While, in theory many of the control technologies used in land-based applications could potentially be marinized to work in the marine environment, the potential success of these methods when applied to harbor craft will be highly dependent on the specific application. Considerations for applicability include the engine duty cycle, engine placement in the hull, vessel exhaust system configuration, and age of specific harbor craft. Since most marine vessels are custom built and have vastly different engine room configurations with varying capacity for space in which to install after-treatment emission controls, it is unlikely that there will be “off-the- shelf” or “one size fits all” aftertreatment devices available for harbor craft. It is likely that the control devices will also need to be customized to each vessel configuration. Nevertheless, we believe that over the next several years, there will be increased desire to develop control technologies for marine applications to help mitigate the emissions that occur in and around ports and urban centers. In this appendix, brief descriptions of NOx and PM emission reduction control strategies currently used in general diesel engine applications will be presented. Some of the control technologies presented have been recently introduced to use in the marine environment. We believe many of the control technologies presented here can be used in the marine environment, but, at this time, there are no control technologies that have been verified for marine applications through the ARB verification procedure.
