| Summary: | Due to global warming, the ice-free time of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) is becoming increasingly longer, which increases its potential as a major international shipping route. As the key nodes, ports play an important role in the development of shipping routes, but few studies have discussed the issue of port development in the NSR. This paper presents the topic of the development situation and future demand for the ports along the NSR. The introduction of NSR and the relative ports have been introduced first. Then, the development situation and future potential of ports are analyzed from different indicators; furthermore, the evaluation of the ports has been made. Finally, policy recommendations are put forward. |
