Hormuz and Red Sea issues boost Northern Sea Route

The Arctic sea route is attracting increasing interest due to disruptions in traditional shipping lanes caused by the war in the Middle East. A Chinese vessel is preparing to launch a regular shipping line, while a South Korean ship is conducting a trial voyage through it. Climate change seems to have made the route more navigable, but experts believe that its use will be seasonal only, from August to October, due to the need for specialized polar vessels, which are more expensive. Despite reducing the distance and travel time by up to 40%, large ships are still unable to pass through it at present.
