| Summary: | Abstract Arctic shipping can bring significantly potential business profit, which has become a focal point at present. However, compared to the enormous risk, related research on the safety and security issues are not sufficient. In the essay, the natural factors, such as weather, ice are summarized, and the facility insufficiency and human factors aroused by low temperature and severe ice conditions are analyzed. Besides that, the requirement of international conventions has already proposed the basic technical demand for the ship facilities and lifeboat in Arctic area. In the end, the suggestions for safety and security, providing better equipment and facilities, enhancing crew competence, decent preparations before navigation are proposed. |
