Initiative Goal: To evaluate Northern infrastructure by creating an inventory of maritime and aviation assets in the Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Institute of the North, Anchorage, Alaska, USA
Co-led by the United States and Iceland, under the guidance of the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group
AMATII Overview
![Page 3: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Project Deliverables: Arctic Maritime and Aviation Infrastructure Database: a
web-based, searchable inventory of baseline public data; Arctic Maritime and Aviation Infrastructure Map: layers of
port and airport infrastructure provide a graphical representation of asset locations; and
Guidance Document: proceedings of the Arctic Transportation Infrastructure Workshop (December 2012) plus examples of Northern aviation and maritime infrastructure.

Arctic Transportation Infrastructure: Response Capacity and Sustainable Development
3-6 December 2012 Reykjavik, Iceland
![Page 13: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Workshop Findings
1. Continued evaluation of response capacity is needed.
2. Increasing attention is being paid to communications, workforce development, mapping/bathymetry, and navigational aids
3. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to infrastructure development.
4. Infrastructure development must respond to social, environmental and cultural impacts.
![Page 14: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Findings, continued
5. Creative funding strategies (i.e., PPPs) cannot be ignored.
6. Investments in infrastructure should be leveraged.
7. Sometimes there are simple solutions to problems that shared information can address.
8. Innovation can begin in the North where ingenuity sometimes means survivability.
9. Additional review of “loose” and mobile assets is warranted.

What’s next?
![Page 16: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What new information is needed?
![Page 17: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What layers are needed?
![Page 18: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Additional new layers
![Page 19: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Future: What ifs?
Diversion points - often to single runways or places of refuge. Worst case scenarios are difficult to plan for and planning needs to be done in stages.
Risk management strategies - recognizing the fluidity of risk management, consider proactive collaborative risk analysis with regular review for the future.
Costs of change - identify infrastructure that is under risk and needs remediation
The Arctic is not a static environment:
![Page 20: AMATII: Identifying Arctic Opportunities and Challenges 30 May 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda1a0f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Future: What else?
Mobile assets – What assets move within the Arctic as well as outside (e.g., icebreakers)?
Staging infrastructure – Where are primary, secondary and tertiary response assets located?
Role of private sector – What private and/or industry-owned assets need to be considered?
These questions remain:
