Arctic Shipping Routes
The Northern Sea Route (NSR)
NSR in numbers
• 12,800 km between East Asia and Western Europe (21,000 km if using the Suez Canal)
• Cuts 10-15 days (between July and November, East Asia to Western Europe)
• 10 days could save $1 million per journey
• $300,000 icebreaker fees compared to $400,000 to pass the Suez Canal
• Less fuel
• Less CO2 emissions
