Feasibility of the Northeast Passage: The role of vessel speed, route planning, and icebreaking assistance determined by sea-ice conditions for the container shipping market during 2020–2030
This study aims to examine the feasibility of the Northeast Passage for container transportation during the period of 2020–2030. A novel model is developed to study the impact of sea-ice conditions on freight rate between the Northeast Passage and Suez Canal Route on a round voyage. The sea-ice conc...
