Abstract

This paper analyzes the constitute of container shipping routes and the parameters of containership, and designs NSR-Suez circle route during NSR navigation period. By comparing the economy efficiency between NSR route, Suez route, and NSRSuez circle route, and considering the effects of carbon tax introduction in EU, the sensitivity was analyzed. Results show that the NSRSuez circle route has the advantages of both NSR route and Suez route, the lowest required freight rate and the highest profits of whole year. It also enrichs the theoretical research related Arctic and ship routing problem, which provides theoretical basis for strategic decisions of China’s Arctic shipping.
