Intelligent Optimization of Waypoints on the Great Ellipse Routes for Arctic Navigation and Segmental Safety Assessment

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A great ellipse route (GER), as one of the fundamental routes for ocean voyages, directly influences the actual voyage distance and the complexity of vessel maneuvering through the location and number of its waypoints.

Sea ice choke points reduce the length of the shipping season in the Northwest Passage

Communications Earth & Environment
Arctic sea ice has shifted from a perennial (older, thicker ice) to a seasonal (younger, thinner) ice regime, leading to the increasingly common belief that shipping through Canada’s Northwest Passage is becoming more viable.

Arctic shipping under global change: A case study of offshore oil exports

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
We explore impacts of sea ice thinning and evolutions in the energy sector on future use of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) versus the Suez Canal Route (SCR), using a case study of shipping oil extracted from the offshore Russian Arctic to China. We combine

Assessment of the degree of transformation of the arctic marine environment under intensifying shipping activities

Российская Арктика
This article presents the development of an integrated assessment of the Arctic marine environment state under intensifying shipping activities. Using the PROMETHEE II multi-criteria analysis methodology, a formula was derived for assessment that enables

Optimizing sea ice parameters mitigates the underestimation of Arctic marine access in CMIP6 climate models

Communications Earth & Environment
Maritime activity in the Arctic is increasing, and climate change projections suggest that commercial vessels may soon have seasonal access to high-latitude waters.

Noise pollution from Arctic expedition cruise vessels: understanding causes, consequences and governance options

npj Ocean Sustainability
Significant increase in shipping in the Arctic has caught international and national attention. The rising presence of touristic expedition cruise vessels might describe a special case for noise as a marine pollutant while they seek exclusive ...
