Assessment of the Feasibility of the Arctic Sea Transportation by Using Ship Ice Transit Simulation

Arctic sea transportation has drawn a lot of attention in the recent years. The possibility of using a shorter route between Europe and Asia interests many actors in the shipping industry. Benefits from the shorter route may, at first, seem attractive. However, there might be factors affecting the feasibility of the route that are not obvious at first. The estimated transit speed along the Arctic route is not necessarily reached due to ice and...
