“…Commercial NWP transits between Japan, and Eastern Canada are estimated to be financially viable, although how much is debated (Somanathan et al, 2009). Commercial NEP transits between Shanghai and Hamburg are currently viable, yet double the cost of the traditional route (Verny and Grigentin, 2009).…”

Abstract. This paper presents 5 km×5 km Arctic emissions inventories of important greenhouse gases, black carbon and other pollutants under existing and future (2050) scenarios that account for growth of shipping in the region, potential diversion traffic through emerging routes, and possible emissions control measures. These high-resolution, geospatial emissions inventories for shipping can be used to evaluate Arctic climate sensitivity to black carbon (a short-lived climate forcing pollutant especially effective in accelerating the melting of ice and snow), aerosols, and gaseous emissions including carbon dioxide. We quantify ship emissions scenarios which are expected to increase as declining sea ice coverage due to climate change allows for increased shipping activity in the Arctic. A first-order calculation of global warming potential due to 2030 emissions in the highgrowth scenario suggests that short-lived forcing of ∼4.5 gigagrams of black carbon from Arctic shipping may increase global warming potential due to Arctic ships' CO 2 emissions (∼42 000 gigagrams) by some 17% to 78%. The paper also presents maximum feasible reduction scenarios for black carbon in particular. These emissions reduction scenarios will enable scientists and policymakers to evaluate the efficacy and benefits of technological controls for black carbon, and other pollutants from ships.

“…Comparing this result to data provided by VERNY and GRIGENTIN (2009) related to their study concerning container shipping on the Northern Sea route versus the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Suez Canal route, they found that the railway route is 30% more expensive. Consequently, the transfer of one container from Eilat to Ashdod through the Red-Med railway could be 78,5USD x 1.3 = 102USD.…”

With this venture, China will build a cargo railway line connecting the port of Eilat in the Red Sea to the ports of Ashdod and Haifa on the Mediterranean coast in Israel. This project will be a shipping alternative to the Suez Canal. This statement is the corner stone of this paper and considered a hypothesis to be verified within this paper. The methodology used is based on the concept of "market position." The main conclusion, theoretically, the Red-Med railway could be an alternative to the Suez Canal for the 4,000 TFE Vessels containers transportation as far as costs are concerned. However, other issues, such as terrorism incidents, the security in the Suez Canal and the risk of its shutdown, must be considered too.

Guy, Emmanuel et Frédéric Lasserre (2016 Summary: maritime traffic is increasing in Arctic seas in the context of climate change. The rapid melting of sea ice led to the widespread belief that traffic was set to rapidly expand, challenging Canadian and Russian-claimed sovereignties over their respective Arctic passage, and underlining the risk posed by such a traffic in a risky but fragile environment. If projections on potential traffic for the medium term are probably exaggerated, the increasing traffic nevertheless challenges the adequacy of the regulatory framework.
