Arctic Shipping

14/05/2008 17:10

I am doing a research on marine transportation in the Northwest Passage.
I am wondering to what extent shipping companies are interested in using this new Arctic route, and why. So far, a few told me they were interested, but many said no.

Do you think shipping in the Northwest passage will increase fast ?
