Abstract

Amidst the intensifying impact of climate change, the extension of navigable periods along Arctic Shipping Routes (ASRs) has garnered attention as a maritime route for container vessels. The urgency to comprehend the reverberations of ASRs on the global container shipping network (GCSN) led to the development of the LatitudinalCentrality Index (LCI), which integrates latitude and centrality in maritime analysis. This index evaluates ASRs’ influence across 968 port nodes within the GCSN. By exploring scenarios encompassing seasonal fluctuations over the years, this study delves into the sway of ASRs compared to a benchmark state devoid of ASR engagement. The study’s revelations highlight a discovery: the assimilation offers augments interconnectivity, or resilience, within the GCSN. The GCSN thrives as a cohesive and adaptable entity upon full fullintegration of ASRs, indicating a promising trajectory for global container shipping.
