1 Alaska Deep-Draft Arctic Ports Navigation Feasibility Study U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Bruce Sexauer P.E. Chief of Planning, Alaska District

2 Alaska Deep Draft Arctic Port System Study Purpose To identify Arctic navigation improvements in support of multiple maritime missions that include national security, search and rescue, support of Alaska Native communities, resource extraction, and international cargo transport. 2

3 The Study Area 3

4 Arctic Navigation Needs National strategy for the Arctic three key lines of effort Advance national security interests Pursue responsible stewardship Strengthen cooperation within the arctic Large vessel traffic is increasing and more than 60% of these vessels are foreign flagged. Greater traffic heightens risk of incidents, accidents, and increased national security considerations. Increased national concern for energy sufficiency 4

5 Arctic Traffic Trends Northern Sea Route Traffic Projected increase in Northern Sea Route traffic of 30-fold over 8 years to 2013 increased from 46 to 71 vessels. Vessel traffic Traffic Forecast* * 2012 Reuters prediction of a 30 fold increase in the next 8 years. 5

6 800 Miles The Closest Port to Arctic The closest deep draft port available is 800 miles away at Dutch Harbor 6

7 Port Site Selection Criteria The primary criteria for evaluation of each site s physical suitability as a deep-draft Arctic port were: Ports Proximity to Mission(s) Intermodal Connections Upland Support Natural Water Depth Navigation Accessibility 7

8 Port Site Identification All sites, all purposes, all criteria, equal weights: Nome, Port Clarence (Teller), Cape Darby Oil and Gas sites water depth limited to minus 35-feet Nome, Port Clarence (Teller), Barrow Mining Sites water depth limited to minus 45-feet Nome, Cape Darby, Port Clarence (Teller) 8

9 Nome and Port Clarence 9

10 Improvements Under Consideration - Nome Option being investigated to accommodate line haul fuel barge, ice breakers, cargo barges, tanker, Coast Guard cutters, NOAA, research vessels, landing craft, tugs Multiple Potential Dredging, Breakwater and Dock Configurations Nome Harbor a key part of many potential solutions 10

11 Nome Harbor 11

12 Port of Nome 12

13 Improvements Under Consideration - Point Spencer Will accommodate line-haul barge, tug assist, ice breakers, oil and gas support vessels, heavy lift barge Dredging of Channel and Basin Multiple potential dock configurations Port Clarence already in use by oil and gas industry thus logical to include in plans Significant shore side development would be required 13

14 Point Spencer 14

15 Improvements Under Consideration - Cape Riley Can accommodate shallow draft mineral extraction vessels, lightering vessels Requires Breakwater and Dredging Upland road connection needed Uncertainty in mineral resource extraction timeline makes this item less justified 15

16 Cape Riley 16

17 What Happens Next Complete Alternative Evaluation. Agency and Public Review of Recommended Plan Signs a Chief of Engineers/Decision Document Submit to Congress authorization in a Water Resource Development Act

18 More Information National Arctic Strategy May 2013 Presidential strategy for the Arctic includes national security interests, pursuing responsible stewardship, and international cooperation for arctic Arctic Strategy, Department of Defense November 2013 a secure and stable region where U.S. national interests are safeguarded, the U.S. homeland is protected, and the nations work cooperatively to address challenges. U.S. Coast Guard Arctic Strategy May 2013 three strategic objectives; Improving Awareness, Modernizing Governance, Broadening Partnerships in the Arctic.
