Venta Maersk Starts Historic Arctic Voyage

Danish shipping major has dared to go places where others haven’t, which is definitely the case with its latest test run through the Northern Sea Route.

Despite that the trip is of exploratory nature, if a company like Maersk is exploring the commercial route viability and this could indicate a pick up in the route’s attractiveness for container shipping

Arctic waters have so far been used mostly by tankers and, most recently, by passenger ships.

Considering that container shipping is currently looking into the ways of boosting profitability and cutting costs especially for fuel, the lane would be very attractive as it shortens the duration of the trip by around 24 percent from Northeast Europe to Asia compared to the Suez Canal.

Consequently, container shipping companies would be able to save money and time.

Venta Maersk departed Vladivostok earlier today heading for the Northern Sea Route. Maersk said earlier that the ship’s trip would last for over a month. The ship is expected to pass the Bering Strait on or around September 1, 2018 and its planned arrival in Saint Petersburg is set for the end September.

Smart Bill of Lading Trial CargoX, a Slovenian-based supplier of blockchain technology, has completed a container test shipment using a Smart Bill of Lading. The container's route took it from Shanghai, China to Koper, Slovenia (EU) aboard Evergreen's containership Ever Safety. CargoX stated: “...our CargoX Smart B/L™ solution... will now be available to all logistics and shipping companies who want to reduce their Bill of Lading issuing and processing costs by up to 85 pct, as well as save weeks waiting for the document, and who also want to have complete security and document ownership transfer capabilities.”
