“…Although both Russia and Canada try hard to “internalize” NSR and NWP, the international community never pays it. The United States and European Union contested Canada’s internalization claim, considering NWP is “an international strait, open to use by all states” (Thorsell and Leschine 2016 ).…”

Ship-source pollution is one of the important contributors to marine environment pollution. Because the legal status of the Arctic shipping routes is not clear, there is a considerable degree of dispute in the application of the rules on the prevention and control of ship-source pollution. The increased melting of sea ice undermines the legal legitimacy of the “ice-covered areas” clause under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The conflict between the application of the Polar Code and “ice-covered areas” will also reach an initial conclusion in the context of melting sea ice. However, the inadequacy of ship-source pollution rules in the Polar Code hampers its application, which has led to a negative impact on the more active role in the governance of pollution from Arctic shipping. For replying to the Challenges in the prevention of ship-source pollution in Arctic shipping routes, the relevant rules of the Polar Code need to be further improved, while a more binding HFO ban according to ship types needs to be applied. Therefore, a more important role in the future Arctic governance mechanism will be played by the enhanced enforcement of the Polar Code, meanwhile, the target for uniform international regulation of preventing and controlling ship-source pollution in Arctic shipping routes should be achieved.

“…Canada Shipping Act (hereinafter “CSA”) (2001) prohibits the discharge of oil into Canadian Waters, including the internalized Arctic Water. Penalties for violation of it are up to a $1,000,000 fine or 18 months in prison (Thorsell and Leschine 2016 ).…”
