THE NORTHERN SEA ROUTE NAVIGABILITY [EN/RUS/CH]

The actual shipping route along the Northern Sea Route depends on weather conditions, primarily, on ice conditions. The video shows the concept of an path-finding algorithm for a ship in Arctic, based on weather data. PAPER LINK: GOOGLE SCHOLAR: RESEARCH GATE: PAPER INFO Sibul Gleb, Yang Peihao, Muravev Dmitri, Jin Jian Gang, Kong Linghe Revealing the true navigability of the Northern Sea Route from ice conditions and weather observations Maritime Policy & Management ABSTRACT The authors analyzed the navigation along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and developed the pathfinding algorithm for its strategic assessment. It creates the framework connecting weather observations with shipping operational parameters: travel speed, travel time, travel distance, the necessity of icebreaker escort. It is based on the A* algorithm, t
