Shipping in the Arctic – is climate change a game changer?
The advent of rapid sea ice melting in the Arctic, in the frame of climate change, gave rise to scenarios of fast expanding commercial shipping along Arctic passages. However, about twenty years after the emergence of such scenarios, Arctic shipping did expand but not transit shipping. This chapter...
