Naval Architecture of North Pole Shipping and Resources Harbin Engineering University 2015.06.29 Outlines 1 Background 2 Fundamental problems 3 Researches at HEU 1.1 Background — Arctic route 1982 (left) 2008 In present, the navigable time is about 5 (right) months ( from mid-Jul. to early Dec.). Global warming makes the thickness of arctic ice and Experts predict that the arctic will be ice-cover area reducing year by year. navigable all the year within several decades.  The arctic route is the shortest route that connected to the north Pacific and Atlantic;  There are three traditional routes from Europe to Asia: One is the route by way of Suez Canal, 19931km, 35 days; another one is that by way of Panama Canal , 26186lm, 40 days; third one is that by way of the Horn of Africa,22356km,46 days; if the ships navigate by arctic route, only 12456 km, 22 days, almost half of the time. 1.1 Background — Polar ships Tasks : Polar shipping trade, channel building up and maintenance, scientific research, supply security, etc. Types:  Main carrier, such as container vessel, tanker, bulk carrier, etc.  Polar research ship  Icebreaker, etc. Vitus Bering ( Multi-function of icebreaking
