After Collecting a lot of data from all places here it is what is happening today.

The town of Kirkenes in northernmost Norway used to be further away from Asia than virtually any other European port, but it suddenly seems a lot closer. Is it because of Global Warming?

Melting ice has opened up the Northern Sea route along Russia's Arctic coastline, changing international trade patterns in profound ways — even if so far it looks more like a sleepy county road than a busy, four-lane highway. In a change of potentially revolutionary significance, travel time between the Japanese port of Yokohama and Hamburg in Germany has been cut by 40 per cent, while fuel expenditure is down by 20 per cent.


In 2012, when the ice reached its lowest extent on record at 3.4 million square kilometres (1.3 million square miles), 46 ships used the new route, compared with only four in 2010.The traffic is still negligible compared with traditional routes. Ships transit the Panama Canal 15,000 times a year, while passing through the Suez 19,000 times. But the future looks promising.

The volume of goods transported along the Northern Sea route is likely to grow strongly in the coming years, from 1.26 million tonnes last year to 50 million tonnes in 2020.
