Lighter Than Air Vehicles - Airships
By 2020, there should be enough demand and hence supply of these airships for short term rentals at reasonable cost, in any given month of the year. No need for runways, all season road, weather dependency, tide water access, and related upkeep. The high load capacity LTA vehicles will be able to carry all equipment/building infrastructure/plant required on site from the deep port, and a capsule to bring people/supplies in and out from Iqaluit. Could be substantial savings in Capital and Operating Costs for PGD.
"The ship could carry 20 tons of cargo, but can also be scaled up to be much larger and carry loads as heavy as 500 tons."
