Safe navigation of cruise ships in greenlandic waters-legal frame and practical challenges
Climate change provides for improved conditions for maritime navigation and results in increased activity in the Arctic. Those increased activities influence the safety at sea and risk of accidents. A disaster as the Costa Concordia incident would have far more serious consequences in Greenlandic wa...
