Abstract
A system of floating canal sections that connect end-to-end along a route to form a shipping canal and contain brine to prevent freezing. The canal sections of the present invention resemble floating dry-docks that are filled with the brine solution rather than with normal sea water. Sections can be floated into place and connected. Sections can be anchored to the sea floor. A typical section can be around 1000 feet long, 150 feet wide and about 50 feet deep. The sections can be manufactured anywhere and towed to the Arctic and connected. The use of brine prevents pollution if there should be a leak.
