Environmental Risk Analysis of Different Segments of The Arctic Northeast Route

Abstract

There are huge differences in the sea ice conditions, climate and environment, geographical conditions and communication conditions in the Arctic waters, and the equipment and navigation requirements of ships are also different. In order to ensure the safety and success of the ships, through the route, this paper using fuzzy level analysis (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, FAHP), build the northeast arctic route risk evaluation index system, targeted analysis of different segments, the results show that: (1) although the sea risk point is different but the natural environment risk has a significant impact on the arctic waters.(2) The risk coefficient of Arctic route is higher than that of traditional ordinary routes. Among the five sea areas in this study, Chukchi Sea is the highest, followed by East Belia Sea. The crew need to pay more attention when sailing.(3) The research in this paper can provide a reference for the navigation safety of the northeast Arctic shipping route.
