Start with a powerful overview of evolving Arctic seaways — melting ice, expanding traffic, and urgent sustainability challenges — and you’ll quickly see why this book matters to shipowners, port authorities, regulators, and policy makers across Canada, Norway, Russia, Greenland, Alaska (USA), Finland and Sweden. The authors blend practical maritime expertise with policy insight to explain risk management, ice navigation, port infrastructure, and community-sensitive development strategies needed for safe operations in polar waters.

Inside, readers will find clear frameworks for complying with international standards, reducing environmental impact, and integrating Indigenous and local stakeholder needs into planning.

Particular emphasis on climate-adaptive logistics, fuel and emissions mitigation, emergency response, and sustainable port development makes this edition indispensable for anyone shaping Arctic shipping’s future.

Practical, current, and regionally attuned, it’s a must-have reference for sustainable Arctic maritime leadership.
