MSC reaffirms its commitment to NOT use the Northern Sea Route as a shipping lane, a stance we believe the entire shipping industry should adopt 🌎🚢 💛 Here is why: •⁠ ⁠Arctic waters are extremely challenging to navigate due to ice, weather conditions, insufficient chart information, and limited infrastructure. •⁠ ⁠Search-and-rescue and pollution response resources are distant, meaning our ships and crews would be largely on their own. •⁠ ⁠We understand that Arctic communities depend on shipping, and we should not burden its essential traffic with unnecessary transits. •⁠ ⁠There is no shortcut to the decarbonization of shipping. Additionally, our fleet and network can efficiently transport our customers’ cargoes worldwide without transiting the Arctic. At MSC, we remain fully committed to avoiding trade routes in fragile marine ecosystems and vulnerable environments, such as the Arctic. Cutting through melting ice to open a new trade route is incompatible with this commitment. Watch this video to hear Bud Darr explain MSC's position in more detail ⬇️
