Simulation Case Study: How Arctic Shipping Shares the Flow of Cargo from Traditional Routes

The accelerated melting of the Arctic ice makes the opening of the Arctic shipping routes closer, bringing about a new pattern of shipping networks. To evaluate the effect of the opening of the Arctic route on the cargo flow of traditional routes, in this study, we will forecast the ice conditions for the opening of the Arctic route, then develop a minimum cost aimed cargo flow assignment model, taking the Arctic route into the world container shipping network and intuitive output results through simulation.
