Shipping in Arctic Waters
The purpose of the project Shipping in Arctic Waters is to present a comparative practical oriented,
holistic cross disciplinary study of the different Arctic Sea Routes;
The Northeast Passage, (NEP) of which the Northern Sea Route (NSR) is the main part, The Northwest Passage (NWP) The Trans-Polar Passages (TPP) running through the Central Arctic Ocean outside of coastal state jurisdiction.
The report focus on three types of sailing routes within each passage:
The report focus on three types of sailing routes within each passage:
- Intra-Arctic routes, i.e. sailing lanes between locations within the Arctic,
- Destination Arctic-routes, i.e. sailing lanes between harbors inside and outside of the region
- Transit routes, i.e. sailing lanes between harbors in the Pacific and the Atlantic via the Arctic Ocean.
The report is divided into 8 sections:
- Definitions of the Sea Routes in Arctic Waters and Adjacent Waters
- The Geopolitical and Economic potential of the various Sea Routes in the Arctic (NSR, NWP and Trans-Arctic Routes)
- Arctic Resources: mineral and biological
- Environmental challenges and other operating conditions
- Shipping and alternative modes of transport – a comparison
- Logistics, technical and competence issues
- Legal, jurisdictional and Human Rights issues
- The three alternative routes compared
