Shipping in Russia’s Arctic continues to reach new levels of activity. Last week the Northern Sea Route saw a container ship similar in size to the Venta Maersk during its historic voyage in 2018. In addition, the largest-ever vessel to transit the Arctic, a massive Capesize bulk carrier, is en route from Russia to China as are two more Aframax oil tankers. Meanwhile a Chinese general cargo vessel is traveling in the opposite direction.
