81327 - General Review and Analysis of Research in CEARCTIC and CEPOLAR Projects
With the climate change and the decreasing of Arctic Sea ice, Arctic shipping receives increasing attetions from both the industries and academia due to a large amount of uncertainties involved. CEARCTIC (Centre of Excellence for Arctic Shipping and Operations) and CEPOLAR (Centre of Excellence for Scenario-based Risk Management in Polar Waters) projects are therefore established continuously from year 2013 to 2022 , focusing on various fields regarding safe Arctic shipping. Extensive research work has been carried out in CEARCTIC and CEPOLAR framework during the multi-year projects towards safe Arctic shipping. The outcomes are mainly published in scientific journal and conference papers, where various subjects, research directions and methods have been focused and applied. Therefore, it is vital to know the current status of Arctic shipping and readiness of technologies and models. This paper aims to review and analyse the relevant research papers published in the framework of the projects, from the view point of research topic, research methods, practical purposes and risk goverance so that a general picture of research on the Arctic shipping so far can be seen from these perspectives. Based on review and analysis, potential gaps and clues for future research directions towards the Arctic shipping can also be identified.
