| Summary: | International audience As ice conditions evolve in the Arctic and natural resources prices increase, maritime activity in the Arctic is expected to grow within the next few years. Zones of interest across the Arctic are related to human activity mostly to exploit natural resources such as mines, oil and gas, and fish. However, Arctic maritime areas are still dangerous places to cross, requiring specific ice strengthened ships that can navigate in different ice conditions. In this article, we present a simulation tool used to analyse feasible paths between zones of interest depending on ice conditions. |
