“…Finally, fog, especially ice fog, 2 is more signifi cant than in the oceans of temperate and tropical zones, which adds an extra diffi culty to navigation (Berglund et al, 2007). Icebergs can continue to drift and cause damage to ships, aggravated in cases of heavy storms.…”

As key links in transportation and supply chains, the effect of climate change on seaports has broad implications for the development prospects of the global economy. However, the picture is very uncertain because t he impacts of climate change will be felt very differently around the world, both positively and negatively. This book addresses the need for quality theoretical analysis, highly innovative assessment methodologies and insightful empirical global experiences so as to identify the best international practices, planning and appropriate policies to effectively adapt to, develop resilience to and, indeed, benefi t from the impacts posed by climate change on transportation and supply chains.With contributions from reputable scholars, inter-governmental organizations and senior professionals in transportation and supply chains coming from fi ve continents, this book investigates climate change, adaptation strategies and planning of transportation and supply chains from different angles. It encourages innovative and effective solutions in developing adaptation measures and resilience by ports, transportation and supply chains to climate change. This book will be essential for anyone interested in understanding climate change and its impacts on transportation and supply chain infrastructures, as well as the effective ways to adapt to such impacts.

“…The most important consequence of this fact is that regular container lines on the NSR cannot be optimized following the model used in Royal Road transport, which relies on a network of developed communication lines in the hinterlands of port cities (river transport and high-quality rails for transshipment and feedering). A second consequence is that there can be little or no outside response to technical problems brought on by the hazards associated with extreme climatic conditions: floating ice sheets, icebergs, fog, and violent winds (Berglund et al, 2007). Maintaining the pace of a regular line requires certain guarantees: that ship can receive assistance with minimal delay, that replacement ships are available, the use of ice-breakers, and a suitable means of transshipment.…”

International audienceSince the beginning of the 20th century, the principal commercial maritime routes have changed very little. With global warming, the Northern Sea Route (NSR) has opened up as a possible avenue of trade in containerized products between Asia and Europe. This paper verifies the technical and economic feasibility of regular container transport along the NSR. By adopting a model schedule between Shanghai and Hamburg, we are able to analyze the relative costs of various axes in the Asia–Europe transport network, including the NSR. While shipping through the Suez Canal is still by far the least expensive option, the NSR and Trans-Siberian Railway appear to be roughly equivalent second-tier alternatives

“…It should be noted that the gaps in technology are different in the Baltic Sea and the Arctic region . The technology is well developed in the Baltic Sea; however, there is still room for improvement through the use of automation . The greater need for radical technological innovation is in the Arctic region.…”

The project Enhanced Situational Awareness to Improve Maritime Safety in the Baltic (BONUS ESABALT) studies the feasibility of data crowdsourcing among marine stakeholders in the Baltic Sea for enhancing maritime safety. This paper describes the system architecture, and by use of practical maritime scenarios demonstrates the system utility. These scenarios are categorized under maritime safety, intelligent navigation, and environmental monitoring with cross‐border cross‐sector operability. The paper also summarizes the validation campaign performed onboard Viking Line's cruise ship M/S Amorella, operating between Turku and Stockholm. Analysis of the vessel‐generated data and end‐user requirements recorded during this voyage is expected to enable distillation of the most critical information for crowdsourcing in the maritime scenario. Finally, the paper compares the BONUS ESABALT project with the state‐of‐the‐art and provides the estimated economic and policy impact of the proposed system in the Baltic Sea Region.
