@dwnews: A South Korean container ship departed on Saturday for Europe via the Arctic in the nation's first commercial voyage on the route to test its viability, with the hope of turning the southeastern port of Busan into a global maritime hub by 2030. #dwcurrentaffairs

'Chokepoint issues' route runs 90% through Russian waters

Blundersoup :

For anyone saying the Arctic looks like a longer route, this is what the route looks like on a globe instead of a flat map. It’s 2,000 miles shorter

Mama Trekkie 💙😽 :

It's crazy how big Russia is and still they're trying to get more territory

Dslav :

Mentioning SOH choke point & Red Sea blockage without emphasizing US & Israel as rogue states is dishonest at best.

This is very dangerous! This will disrupt the ice cover, and the ice will be constantly moving.This will accelerate the rise in temperature on the planet.

Angel Lopez :

I don't know... I would have gone through Africa, the east coast of Africa through land and then sea... I'm kind of cheap, I don't want to use a lot of fuel.

Арте Луко :

This is sad. Feels like this wasn’t a viable route for other countries until now bc of climate change

Muffinsandpie :

youre interviewing an AI company rep about their opinions on sea routes? she thinks its not realistic because its beneficial to countries affected by the hormuz blockade? what? between the options of not being able to transport anything at all, or having to travel longer & break ice, one option will actually allow you to transport goods

Keeearth :

DW always making up fake news

See capitalists don’t even care about solving climate change they’re more worried about utilizing potential new trade routes and military bases while the rest of the world suffers.

If East-Asian countries will use the BARENTSZ ROUTE this would mean USA will loose their trump card to disrupt the logistic chain between East-Asia and Europe. 😁👍 Let them use the Barentz Route! 👍
