北极航线利于鹿特丹的发展

Pole route offers advantages for Rotterdam

The melting of the Arctic ice cap means that the northern sea route between Northeast Asia and Northwest Europe is commercially viable. It reduces the shipping route by a third, compared to the southern sea route currently used.  The port of Rotterdam should (be able to) benefit from this, according to the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB).

For the Netherlands, the opening of the northern sea route is of particular importance, considering the strategic location occupied by the port of Rotterdam. Its trade volumes with countries in Northeast Asia are expected to increase significantly and it could possibly serve as a hub for new, global value chains.

北极航线利于鹿特丹的发展

    北极冰盖的融化意味着连通东北亚和欧洲西北部的北海航线在商业上是可行的。与现有的南海航线相比，它减少了三分之一的航行路程。根据荷兰经济政策分析局分析，鹿特丹港应该能受益于此。

    对于荷兰来说，并且考虑到鹿特丹港优越的地理位置，北海航线的开通是尤为重要的。鹿特丹港与东北亚国家之间的贸易量将会显著增加，并可能成为新全球价值链的枢纽。
