Chinese shipping companies are preparing for their busiest season yet on the Northern Sea Route, with at least six operators planning a mix of container and bulk voyages linking China with Russia and increasingly with major Western European ports.
The initial container services alone represent around 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of capacity, with some vessels scheduled to make a second Arctic voyage later in the season, according to shipping schedules and industry data.
