Cargo ships to try Arctic passage north of Canada
April 25, 2016 Category Foreign trade, Weekly
China announced plans for its cargo ships to take the Arctic Northwest Passage route to the north of Canada that will be 30% shorter than the ocean passages traditionally used to connect the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Panama Canal. Global warming has made the northwest route more navigable. Only one cargo ship, the Canadian vessel Nunavik, has so far made a solo voyage through the Northwest Passage.
