Abstract
Abstract
Maritime activity in the Arctic is on the increase, driven by multiple factors including the development of Arctic natural resources, climate change, regulatory changes, improved technology and operations, national and international policies, infrastructure developments, fuel prices, and the global economy. This article aims to identify and analyze such change drivers and to discuss how these might influence the future of three specific segments of Arctic shipping: destination-Arctic shipping (operation between Arctic and non-Arctic locations), trans-Arctic shipping (operation between non-Arctic locations through Arctic waters), and Arctic cruising. The study finds that each considered segment of Arctic shipping is subject to a unique set of significant change drivers.
