“…In Table 4b we have selected the Panamax size and not the larger type Capesize. This choice is supported by Laulajainen (2009), which indicate very few Capesizers trade between Northwest Europe and The Far East. According to Stopford (2009), the cost savings by using a Capesize rather than a Panamax on a 11,000 nm round voyage are 3.6 $/mt.…”

“…Opening of this route would create new business opportunities for GoB transportation but improved connections to the northern areas would be needed. Increased accessibility and traffic would create also new environmental risks for the whole Baltic Sea (Laulajainen 2009). Connections to the north and northern railroad projects have been studied previously (Rautajoki et al 2003;Corneliussen and Allertsen 2009).…”

Scenarios for shipping traffic in the Gulf of Bothnia (GoB) by 2030 are described in order to identify the main factors that should be taken into account when preparing a Maritime Spatial Plan (MSP) for the area. The application of future research methodology to planning of marine areas was also assessed. The methods include applying existing large scale quantitative scenarios for maritime traffic in the GoB and using real-time Delphi in which an expert group discussed different factors contributing to future maritime traffic in the GoB to find out the probability and significance of the factors having an impact on maritime traffic. MSP was tested on transnational scale in the Bothnian Sea area as a pilot project.

“…Although the ice area has recovered to some extent in individual years, there is still a trend of rapid decline per decade (NSIDC, 2016). As a result, the Arctic coasts will likely be free of ice all summer by the middle of this century (Laulajainen, 2009). This has opened the doors to industrial opportunities, as well as to commercial sailing through the Arctic Sea Route.…”

“…The opportunities revolve around the natural gas the Arctic holds, and the rise of tourism and fisheries in the Arctic, which, amongst other things, can be attributed to easier access to the region. The Northeast Passage and the Northwest Passage, jointly referred to as the Arctic Sea Route, which can be seen in Figure 1, are expected to open up for yearround commercial shipping by the end of this century (Laulajainen, 2009). This will lead to more accessible discovery and exploitation of mineral resources, for example hydrocarbons, and possibly form a new pattern of raw material flows (ACIA, 2004).…”

Previous studies have identified eight parameters as being the most influential on the Icelandic economy in the light of prevailing climate change. This study aims to investigate these economic parameters in relation to the Arctic Region and the Icelandic economy. The study is rooted in the theoretical framework of decision analysis and is intended to contribute to strategic and tactical decision making in the context of Iceland and developments resulting from climate changes in the Arctic Region. The study results could eventually lead do a "What if" decision model, where multiple scenarios can be analyzed by inserting/entering different probabilities of a particular outcome. The parameters under screening/review are interdependent, and to construct a decision model these interdependencies must be assessed. The Delphi method was employed, along with the cross-impact analysis, to shed light on the interconnections between eight of these parameters. Diverse views are revealed concerning the impacts between parameters, although a consensus was reached in the second round of the survey. In some instances, the level of agreement was high, while other estimates showed a wide range of responses. The diversity in answers suggests a higher level of uncertainty regarding some parameters and events compared to others. The survey also indicates how challenging the Delphi and cross-impact methods are in terms of the involvement of experts. However, when data is scarce, these methods provide significant insight.
