Description
This report focuses on factors influencing shipping traffic in the Arctic. As maritime activities are anticipated to significantly increase, the report discusses the expected growth in traffic, particularly due to global warming and decreasing ice cover. It emphasises the impact of the International Maritime Organization's Polar Code, tracking systems, and safety requirements on Arctic navigation. The report also addresses the lack of Arctic infrastructure and highlights developments in weather and ice information systems, wave prognoses, and tools for Aids to Navigation (ATON).
