Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain information required for planning purposes so that Coast Guard program managers and district commanders would be able to make the policy/resource decisions necessary to respond to expected workload demands and possible new initiatives resulting from petroleum industry developments in Alaska. For a detailed presentation of the specific subtasks of this study, including references for the data which are presented, the individual task reports should be consulted as follows: Task 1, Petroleum Development Scenarios; Task 2, Marine Vessel Activity; Task 3, Icebreaking; Task 4, Port Safety and Security; Task 5, Marine Environmental Protection; Task 6, Commercial Vessel Safety; Task 7, Other Program Areas; Task 8, Program Support; and Task 9, Other Coast Guard Districts. The discussion in this report proceeds as follows: First the petroleum development scenarios for Alaska through the year 2000 are developed and presented; second a marine forecast flowing from the scenarios is given; finally, the impact on the Coast Guard of petroleum development in Alaska with its associated marine activity is presented on a program by program basis.
